• Hansal Mehta praised actor Shah Rukh Khan and his film.
• Pathaan has already amassed worldwide funding of 832 crore.
• Hansal stated, “Pathaan is as political as perhaps.

The director Hansal Mehta praised actor Shah Rukh Khan and his blockbuster film Pathaan. Hansal claimed that Pathaan has demonstrated that “‘a good film will reach the audience’ in a recent interview. A good movie and a decent individual, he said, cannot be interrupted for “too long.” Hansal Mehta continued, ‘utmost sensitivity’ adding that I don’t pass judgement on the characters.

In 12 days, Pathaan has already amassed a total worldwide funding of 832 crore. Along with John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana, the film is directed by Siddharth Anand. Following Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, and the spy films starring Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, Pathaan is the fourth film in producer Aditya Chopra’s spy world.

Hansal stated, “Pathaan is as political as perhaps Faraaz, but the expression is different. The way it is done is different, the audience is different. All kinds of films need to be made. If my film has to be made then a Rohit Shetty film also should be made. A Pathaan has to flourish for my film to breathe. The industry is interdependent… A good film is a good film and it will reach the audience. And that is what Pathaan has proven. You cannot keep a good film and a good man down for too long. There are some really good films that didn’t find an audience. But then they found an audience on OTT or somewhere. Times are changing.”

Hansal said about his projects, “My intention is to gain a greater understanding of our world, of our times, to seek empathy for the people who suffer through this, through storytelling. The larger human empathy is for the people who go through this kind of ordeal. I will continue doing it. I approach my films with utmost sensitivity. I don’t judge my characters, I don’t pass judgments through the film, I explore them as human beings.”

Recently, the movie Faraaz, directed by Hansal, was released. It is based on the terror assault that took place in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in July 2016. Zahaan Kapoor and Aditya Rawal play the key parts in the movie. The movie, which also features Juhi Babbar and Aamir Ali, had a limited release on February 3. Anubhav Sinha and the Bhushan Kumar-led T-Series are supporting Faraaz.

The second season of Scam, the Netflix series Scoop, a film with Kareena Kapoor that is currently in post-production, an anthology with Pratik Gandhi and Rajpal Yadav, and the much awaited Gandhi series are just a few of the projects that Hansal has in the works.
