He further talked about movies like RRR and Puspa and he said,“The acceptance of smaller films, those made by Anurag like Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi, Gulmohar will find its place. I'm pretty sure because I have great faith in younger generation,” He also said he wonders what people get from watching films which highlight hypermasculinity except for thrill. “Maine RRR, Pushpa dekhne ki koshis ki, mujhse dekhi nahi gayi. Maine Mani Ratnam ki film puri dekhi kyuki woh kabil filmmaker hai; unka koi agenda nahi hai. Mai imagine nahi kar pata, alawa thrill k ya aapke dil k andar ki jo jasbaat jo chupe huye hai, unko feed karke kahi ek khushi ka ehsas hota ha dekhne ke baad jo aksar kayi din tak rehta hai. Main aise filmein kabhi dekhne na jau (I couldn’t watch RRR and Pushpa. But, I did watch Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan because he is an eminent filmmaker with no agenda. I cannot imagine what people get from watching these films. I would never watch them).” In a different segment of the same interview, he also questioned women liking RRR and said, “I don't know how many women liked RRR.”

RRR and Puspha: The Rise are two of the most successful pan-Indian movies that did exceptinally well in the box-office.
