Maine bola meri Gadar hai jo hoga so hoga. Because us waqt woh hamare koi shauq hai kaise logon ko pakadna banana uski hawa banana, main unme se hoon nahi. Toh woh hawa bahut bani hui thi.”

He further added, “Lekin jab dono pictures lagi – Lagaan I have not seen, but it was a very good film – but Gadar ne jo dandha (Business) kia woh uska not even 2%-5% dandha hoga jo Gadar ne kia tha.

In a promotional interview after the movie’s release, which happened yesterday evening, Sohel advised distributors and fans of top Tollywood star heroes not to re-release big movies on weekends. “Please don’t plan any re-release on weekends, as the hype around big movies featuring top stars will kill the little vibe which small movies generate after much struggle. I humbly urge everyone to plan the re-releases on weekdays and leave the weekends for small movies instead,” Sohel said.

According to Sohel, young and upcoming actors like him enter the industry with many dreams and require the support of both the industry and the audience. He also requested everybody to watch “Mr Pregnant” and support him and his crew.
