People who are criticizing this push-ups calling it that this not how it’s done are ignorant. He is pumping , people who regularly exercise can do this for a quick pump thats all. He can’t do a whole Propa push up routine and get tired before the scene. #Vikram #KamalHaasan𓃵 https://t.co/BYzwxvNDIU
