Talking to Galatta India, Samantha Ruth Prabhu recalled, “I had a concussion and I forgot the names after that. I completely blanked out. That was quite something." She jokingly added, "Now that I think of it, nobody took me to the hospital. Nobody asked me.” Menon clarified that the directors on set were alerted immediately but Samantha does not remember as she was concussed.

Samantha further recalled, “I remember, during my concussion, hearing that we have the set only for less than a day, we need to finish the shoot. So in my concussion, I was like, ‘I am coming people, I am coming.’ Then I remember the stunt guy was in front of me, and then I was like, ‘What am I doing?’ and they were like, ‘Okay, cut, not happening.’”
