He passionately stated that he brought to the screens what he enjoyed as a kid watching both of the biggest stars to present generation.

Talking about producers, he revealed that he monitors the daily budget personally, treating the project as his own. "A producer risks their life for a film; they must at least be safe even if they don't make a profit," he exclaimed. By ensuring the film stayed within the planned budget and schedule, he aimed to keep the production house happy. He thanked audiences for giving him continuous blessings and requested them to watch MSG and bless him again with a huge blockbuster on this 12th January.
