Actor Mahesh Manjrekar said Vicky Kaushal is a "very fine" actor, but he can never say that people came to see him in 'Chhaava'. "Because then they would have come to see the previous five films as well. The audience came to see your character. His previous five films didn't work," he added. Notably, 'Chhaava' earned around ₹800 crore globally.
