'Don't want to do anything substandard,' says Ali Abbas Zafar on Superhero Universe

Now, with time because we are evolving we just don't want to do anything substandard. We want to build a universe which is new because as soon as you say superhero universe, the first thing that comes to your mind is that - Are you trying to ape the West?
