According to a leading daily, Vijay discussed his crushes and mentioned, "I am a huge fan of Urmila Ma’am as well as Bhagyashree Ma’am, and I have seen all of their work to date.

He further lauded Remo for his impeccable choreography, with a special mention of Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani's track Batameez Dil.  “I am an immense fan of Remo Sir’s work too, especially of his choreography in Badtameez Dil.
