During the music launch event of Chhaava in Mumbai, Rahman was joined by Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna. At one point, Vicky playfully asked Rahman to describe his music using three emojis. Rahman responded with a clever quip, saying, “The one with the mouth closed.” He then added, “Over the past week, we’ve seen what happens when the mouth opens,” indirectly referencing the Latent controversy. His remark left the audience, including Vicky, in laughter. Reacting to Rahman’s witty jab, Kaushal chuckled and said, “Talk about roasting.”
