Talking about the kind of film that works at the box office, director Raj Mehta had earlier in June told PTI, “There are new theories coming out every week about what kind of films will work or won't. Some say the trend is of big films, some say that's not the case entirely. There's a lot of uncertainty, I don't think anyone knows what's going to work. Does that add to the anxiety? Absolutely. Because you can never be confident that you've made a film that's going to do well. This is my second film, I'm following up a successful debut, so there's that pressure as well. But the times are such that you don't know what is going to work.”
