“When a new star cast film creates a wave at box office. It sends us a clear msg to investors n producers not to make an over budget film more than a good story needs - not to invest on main actors more than your production cost - no money spend on stars whims - no extra spend on marketing stunts - Audience is surely ready to accept a good heart warming film with right casting all over India 🇮🇳
