We are committed to make a film that India is proud of. Your support, love and blessings is what keeps us going.”At the special screening of the teaser, Raut had opened up about the heavy backlash that the film ‘s teaser had received and said that the movie was “meant for the big screen”. “I was disheartened for sure, not surprised because the film is made for a larger medium—the big screen,” he said.
