The surroundings for the films have changed after the suspicious death of Sushant Singh Rajput. It is different like Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Sadak 2 have faced. He said, “I think the world remains the same and people have now received a medium to express themselves, social media has given them a voice. The sane voices will behave in a certain way and people who are used to a rough way to express themselves will do exactly that. Sometimes it is done deliberately, to quieten people who get scared.

Also, I get most of the information I need through news channels and even they are mostly fake. I instead prefer positive stories, stories of hope.”
