Q. You have said many times that films like Queen, Kahaani, Neerja, Piku and Pink have not been appreciated but just look at the trend at the box office they do 10-20 times the opening day business..

A. That is irrelevant, the lower you start the bigger chance you have of putting up a higher lifetime against day one ratio. Appreciation comes through getting footfalls across the country and getting enough people to like that film which can then result in longevity by having a  few good years on television circuit. After this if the film has the correct characters it can even be turned into a franchise. For the films you have mentioned the correct word is overrated rather than public appreciation.

Q. With Raees and Kaabil coming a day apart now does it mean they can open better as one film will be solo and the other will have first day on a big holiday?

A. Obviously the opening will be bit better for both films now than if they had come in the same day but its still a clash and screen issues are going to be there. The only difference is that there is no choice for the audience on one day. A release on the day after each other does not mean the clash is averted.

Q. Will Dangal beat Sultan and be the widest release of the year ?

A. There is a dubbed version of the film and with that it may be the widest but in Hindi alone it will probably be less than Sultan.

Q. The fans of younger stars like Ranbir and Ranveer are supportive of each other films but why do Salman and Shahrukh fans fight even though bit actors are against this and said many times? 

A. There are no fights, it may be there on the internet but there are arguments over many things on net. As for the actors being against it, its good to say but if it all stoped it will probably men stardom going down. As for the younger stars they probably have not managed to acquire a strong fan base yet.
