Wo Facebook ya Instagram pe jaake kyu nahi dekh lete wo kaun hai, kaha rehta hai? We wanted a period where there was no such kind of technology.” He further added, “They say that I make films for the masses but this is for our parents, and I think that is my core audience- which is a family audience. So this one is for them.”
