In a conversation with the Indian Express, Manish spoke about working with Vijay and the challenges he faced while shooting Kingdom. Speaking about the same, he said:

“The main challenge for me was the language. I don’t speak Telugu, so I had to do a lot of preparation to learn my lines properly. It wasn’t just about memorising them, but also understanding their meaning before delivering them. Dubbing in a language you don’t know is quite challenging, but I embraced the challenge.”
