Sanju,
Rajkumar Hirani had earlier said,
" I am thankful to the viewers who've embraced the film and made it their own. All I can say is that I feel blessed. There is no mantra. You just have to make a film and hope that people like it. At this moment, I can only be thankful to the viewers who have embraced the film and made it their own, because, before the release of the movie, we all were nervous. It was an exam-like feeling. When a filmmaker makes a film, he wants that the audience likes it. I was waiting for reactions and now I feel very good that people have made it their own."With every film having a 100 percent success rate '
Rajkumar Hirani' remains one of the best profitable directors of Bollywood.
