I saw Ranbir Kapoor walking out and coming to me with a certain energy. He hugged me and said, ‘What? super hit film banaaaya hai tum logo ne! Bas phaad dia hai. Don’t listen to anyone for the first two to three days because this will have longevity beyond the Mondays and the Fridays.’ I was like, ‘Really?’ He was so excited and happy for us. It just felt so nice.”
The actor shared the responses from other celebrities, “Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor surrounded me and Divyenndu and kept talking about how great the film is, how much fun they had and how they’re planning on watching it again. It was very fulfilling to see this kind of a reaction”
