But unfortunately, I am stuck in a romantic one. But, now I want to do a clear action film’. That time I think he had one film with Rajkumar Hirani which is called Dunki ,” Atlee added.

I think we are taking back good emotions and that is the cause of Jawan’s success.” Read all the  Latest News ,  Trending News ,  Cricket News ,  Bollywood News , India News  and  Entertainment News  here.
