Hirani who has made his comeback after 2018's 'Sanju' is happy with the response of his film. He told PTI, "Of course, commercial success matters to me but I try not to focus on it at all because the moment you start focusing on it, then you start colouring the kind of film you want to make...''.
"I take three or four years to make a film. This time I took five years to make a story. It should be like... let me make this film whatever the fate of the film is. Sometimes you will get a universal audience, sometimes you will get an audience which is in smaller pockets. India is a massive country and there will be all kinds of audiences liking all kinds of films," he added.
Meanwhile, Prashanth Neel's 'Salaar' has crossed Rs 300 crore nett in India.
