What Ayushmann said
In an interview with Pinkvilla, when Ayushmann was asked about the recent successes of films like Gadar 2, OMG 2, Pathaan, he said, “It’s just a learning curve for the entire industry also we have gone through great metamorphosis as viewers also. The sense of community viewing is back. The excitement is there to get out of your home and just watch films on the big screen. It’s like watching a cricket match on your TV or going to the stadium. I think that’s the kind of difference is there. For commercial films, I think you should just definitely go out there and watch in theaters.”
On people coming to theatres

I’m glad this space is back again and people are going to theaters and even mid-budget, small-budget films are working because intrinsically my films are not big-budget films they are just good with content and yeah that’s a big relief.”
