Dr. Jayantilal Gada, the founder, and chairman of Pen studios talked about the Hindi remake in an interview with Business Today and said, “It will be a big theatrical release. My view is positive for the Bollywood industry. People will be driven to the theatres on the back of big films and unique subjects. Big films like Drishyam and Pathaan are already commercial successes. This means people are willing to come back to the theatre if your content is also exciting enough for them.”
