What does the success of Gangubai Kathiawadi prove?
– It proves three things: that whatever the situation (50% seating capacity in Maharashtra), a good film will run; that Sanjay Leela Bhansali can bring the women audiences to the cinemas in a film which, before release, was thought to be one which would keep the ladies audience away; and that Alia Bhatt does not need the support of a hero to deliver a Rs. 100-crore film!
What is S.S. Rajamouli making after RRR?
– He is committed to directing a Telugu film with Mahesh Babu in the lead role. That should take a year-and-a-half to two years to complete.
What kind of an opening do you predict for The Kashmir Files?
– The opening may be slow because despite a good trailer, the promotion otherwise has not been very impressive.
