Bollywood action star and film producer Vidyut Jammwal, whose latest release ‘IB 71’ has hit the screens, spoke about why patriotic films give a tough competition to genres such as action, romance and comedy.

In conversation with IANS, Vidyut, who comes from an army background said: “It has emotions. Everyone has different tastes but when it comes to the love for the country it’s the same for all.”

He added: “I have arguments with my close friends whether they believe they are more patriotic than me, or I am more patriotic than them. So this is an emotion which is universal. That’s the only reason it works.”
