On Friday, Scene stunt choreographer Chethan D'Souza commended Naslen's performance as an antagonist in the film. Directed by Jithu Madhavan and starring Suriya in the lead role, the film has marked Naslen's Tamil debut and his first collaboration with Chethan. However, the action director said that it did not seem like collaborating with the actor for the first time. Referring to Naslen, the action choreographer added, "Such a naturally gifted actor and an absolute joy to work with. So happy to see how far he's come and the amazing work he's done in Scene. Really proud of this guy. Keep killing it, brother! A future superstar in the making!"

The sentiment about Naslen being a superstar has been prevalent among the South Indian audience for quite a while, and Scene has only reinforced it.

Recently, director Atlee also echoed the sentiment, saying, "What a performer! Such incredible charisma and screen presence! A superstar in the making, brother! You're definitely going to rule the industry!"

In fact, a reporter asked Naslen about Atlee's appreciation for him, especially his superstar potential, and the actor half-jokingly replied, "Isn't that known?" The actor then added that Atlee's praise for him surprised him and that he found the response for the film "quite overwhelming," and he expressed his gratitude to the filmmaker.

Scene stars Naslen as a serial killer, a stark contrast from his usual boy-next-door type characters. His effortlessness and sense of ease in the performance against a seasoned performer such as Suriya has impressed audiences across the country. In fact, some in Kerala are even of the opinion that Naslen has outperformed Suriya in the film, although the actor dismissed this opinion by saying that his co-star is 'The One'.
