During an exclusive interview with India Today, Raashii Khanna addressed the unsatisfying reviews that her film Yodha received. She said, “Maybe there’s somebody who loves it, then somebody who hates it. There’ll always be all kinds of people, but obviously, we want, when the film is released, a lot of people should like it. I think the challenge has been to bring them to theatres still, because now everyone knows that the film will be released on OTT. So that is a challenge that even people face.”
She further added that in general bringing people to theatres is a problem and she does not think Yodha is a bad film. Raashii thinks every film has its destiny, and actors just learn from it and then move on to the next.

Expressing delightfulness she further added that she is happy to see herself on the big screen in Hindi. “This is amazing. It was a very nice moment and a very nice feeling that I had,” she said.
