Would he be seen on the silver screen again? “That is obvious. I mean, of course this encouragement will help me... What do you think should I be seen or not? You will see more,” he said in an affirmative tone.

Asked if Jai Gangaajal, which stars Priyanka Chopra as a tough police officer, received the kind of response he expected, Jha said: “I don’t have to tell you the audience has loved it. They are loving the film. It is doing steady business because of word of mouth.

“Otherwise a female-oriented film doesn’t take a huge kind of opening but it has had a decent opening... So it is doing well.”
