Bollywood Actors Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan shared their reaction to the film's box office success, Pathaan. They called the film possibly the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema. Recently, both spoke at the press conference on Tuesday evening. Alia Bhatt responded to the questions asked about Pathaan breaking the box office record of Brahmastra. Whereas Varun Dhawan reacted to the boycott trend that the film, Pathaan faced ahead of its release.
Alia Bhatt talked about the negativity and haters and said, "I don't think we have so much aggression in us like that. We are very grateful to be working and living our dream on a day-to-day basis. And we believe that we belong to the audience, and the audience can say whatever they want about us. As long as we are entertaining them, we will do our very best."
While speaking about Pathaan, "We feel very very happy as an industry that a film like Pathaan is not just a blockbuster but possibly the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema. I think everybody should definitely clap for that once. We feel grateful for moments like this and pray that yahi hota rahe (this should continue happening)."
Alia Responded to the reporter when asked about Pathaan breaking Brahmastra's record, "Every film should break every film's record. I am very happy with that."
Varun Dhawan shared that one must not pay heed to boycott trends. In contrast, the film Pathaan's success is a witness to an audience only looking for entertainment. He said, "I don't want to talk about it. Why should we give so much importance to it? If people are liking it (Pathaan), then be happy. We should not discuss it much. The collections are speaking about the reach of Indian cinema to Hindi cinema. And when you have some of the biggest stars of this country in Pathaan, be it Shah Rukh sir, Salman bhai, Deepika Padukone and John, you are giving the audience what they want and that's entertainment."
