Even with a delayed release date and the massive political wave, the film had good hype and strong bookings.. It’s really hard to shift the mindset of people towards cinema when they are glued to politics now.. Theatres needed a summer blockbuster, and this film had that potential.. But the entire hype has been messed up now..”
