In addition, he added that numerous big movies like Laal Singh Chaddha, Raksha Bandhan, Brahmastra, and Rohit Shetty's film lined up and by the end of the year there is a Salman Khan film too. "There's so much to look forward to. We have all the love, we just need to create the right content to create it," KJo told.

Furthermore, he revealed, “To get the audience inside a cinema hall is not easy anymore. You've to make sure your film, trailer, and campaign is exciting to manage to get those numbers. You're living upto your own reputation. Is it a stress? Could be. But it's more of a challenge and I like taking challenges.”

It's a fun world and this is our take on it. If that story happened in a completely different environment, not in South India, in North India, then what would it be like?"
