He also said that he could not even repeat what the boxer stated. “He abused me rather a lot, albeit lovingly, in English, and I cannot even repeat what he stated to me. However sure, I had fun with him,” the Arjun Reddy star quoted in his conversation with a leading daily.

Furthermore, Vijay talked about what Mike feared the most within the nation and what he loves about India. The actor stated, “He loves India for the meals, the music, and the folks. He even requested us to convey him Indian meals which he loved very a lot. However sure, he’s afraid of the gang right here. One time he got here right here and stayed alone within the lodge as a result of he was afraid of the crowds that collect on the airport or another place.”

Speaking about the famous boxer’s eating habits, Deverakonda revealed, “His food regimen is considerably much like Ananya.”

Ananya, who was sitting with Vijay, shared what she learned from Mike and what they bonded over. “We each eat rather a lot, so we bonded on units. I realized from Mike Mr. ‘by no means say no to something,’” she said.
