“I personally enjoy doing these (real-life incident) kinds of cinemas which can make an impact on society, I like those kinds of cinema. But also I would not say I won’t do ‘Welcome’, or ‘Hera Pheri’ I like doing those films too, but this also I enjoy the most,” he said.

I don’t know about what the commerciality of this film going to be but that is for sure I am so proud of the film he has made. And I am happy to say that this is one of the best films which I have done.”
