I Am Done With 'Masti' Franchise, Says Director Indra Kumar
"I am done with Masti franchise mainly because of the leak. I am put off by adult comedy and Masti zone. I don't feel like doing it. Tomorrow if I think I want to do, maybe then let's see. At the moment, I don't want to take it forward. Even if I want to, I will not direct it. For me, it is a full stop on the franchise," Kumar told PTI.
