On suggestion, though - it would be great if we don't involve in asking question about other actor/s(Raj Kumar Rao) in this interviews - Even though Rathna Pathak brought the topic. For the same reason I mentioned this was a great decision to interview these actors - - otherwise we are taking away what they deserve. They have worked for more than 30 years in our cinemas.

Sir, I don't think you realise with the Hera pheri series(both parts), what you have done.

Whenever the camera starts rolling, you turn into an acting beast(especially comedy). Extraordinary talent. This movie works like a health pill and just tickles my funny bones every single time. It's crazy how good both parts are. The entire team has knowingly/unknowingly created an evergreen piece of comedy. Still relatable and effortlessly funny😂😂😂
