If you find anything objectionable, then you should voice it. We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. If a certain section of the audience feels offended, then it should be considered. But if it is not (hurting sentiments) then let's not talk about it so early." Thank God will release in cinemas on October 25 with Akshay Kumar's Ram Setu.
