According to Hindustan Times, questions were aimed at him asking why he should watch the movie, to which he said that people are watching and so will he. 

"I have no idea about that. But every director has a style and point of view for making films. He made a film from his point of view, which is good," said the actor. 

The actor added that when a filmmaker makes a film, they make it from their perspective and that they should be allowed to add their own perspective even in films based on real incidents.
