Kabir Khan, when asked about Bollywood not voicing its opinion, the filmmaker opened up about how Bollywood isn’t a club where people belong to same mindset. Opinions are bound to vary.

In an interview with MensXp, he said, “I never agree when there’s a generalised statement about Bollywood. Bollywood is not a club; it’s not a place where we all meet, and belong to the same ideology. It’s made of thousands of people with different ideologies and viewpoints and ways of living life.”
