Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar Is Elated With The Response To His Film
Reacting to the reports of his film registering the highest opening on Disney+ Hotstar, the superstar was quoted as saying by Mid-day, "I feel great. I know a lot of critics don't like my films, and I understand it. But my focus is on my audience. I am told it's the biggest opening of my career. The film achieves something pivotal. Having a transgender protagonist normalises and reinforces the rights of the LGBTQ community. Be it with PadMan [2018] or Toilet: Ek Prem Katha [2017] or Mission Mangal [2019], the idea is to do more than just entertain or deliver a box-office success. I want to make a difference."
