But both the films have come out beautifully. I am very proud to be a part of both films. Can’t wait to share it with the audience,” said Katrina Kaif.

When asked if he would rather be an actor, who then went on to become a star, Vijay said, “I don’t find any difference. Everybody is an actor. It sounds like star doesn't need to act.
