He added, “Not that I am playing myself, but just go out there, enjoy yourself. Don't think too much about what people have to say. And don't compare it to Border 1. That was the most important.” The film is expected to release next year and remains closely watched by industry observers and trade analysts alike across domestic and overseas markets currently nationwide media circles closely today.
