While talking about his experience of working with Tyson, Vijay said, “It was surreal working with Mike Tyson; it’s an experience. We would talk among ourselves and say who are the biggest stars on this planet? We thought of four people; Michael Jackson, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, and Mike Tyson. These are the people you go anywhere, people know them. Jackson and Bruce Lee are gone, unfortunately. We just have Jackie Chan and Mike Tyson, and we got to work with one of them. We got to eat with him, chat with him.” Also Read - Jug Jugg Jeeyo trailer launch: Varun Dhawan silences journalist who questions Kiara Advani why she isn't married with this SAVAGE reply
“I got beaten by him. He connected a punch on my face which shook my brain, but I was standing and that gave me a lot of confidence. I was like ‘Tyson ne mara aur main khada hoon, now I can take anything in the world’. It was fun, it was a crazy experience. A lot of experiences with him I cannot share, but it’s a memory for life,” the actor added.
