Kisi bhi tarah se woh hamare dil ko bahae, entertain kare, jo bhi unka topic ho. Mujhe nahi lagta Jawan ya Pathaan mass cinema the. They’re just entertaining films.” (I feel that we analyze films too much, categorizing them as mass-oriented or content-oriented. I believe films are meant for entertainment, regardless of their theme. I don’t see Jawan or Pathaan as mass cinema; they are simply entertaining films.)”
