Reacting to it, Akshay said, “agar unhone kaha hai to phir sahi hoga mujhe nahi pata. Agar Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, ek aisi film banake maine koi galat kaam kiya hai to phir agar wo keh rahi hai to sahi hoga.”


For the unversed, at the India TV conclave, Jaya Bachchan spoke against the film, which also starred Bhumi Pednekar in a pivotal role. She had questioned the title of the film and quipped that she would never go watch a film with such a name. “Yeh koi naam hai? Is that really a name?” she said.

The actress did not stop there, she went on to ask the audience how many of them would go to watch such a film. Responding, only a few people raised their hands. Jaya responded, “Among so many people, hardly four people want to watch the film; it’s very sad. Yeh toh flop hai (It is a flop).”
