“This is because it’s an easy and soft target. Kyunki humare Bollywood walo me unity nhi hai. Agar Bollywood walo me unity ho toh koi kuch nhi kar sakta. Koi aapke theatre pe patthar bhi nahi maar sakta. Koi gunda-gardi bhi nahi kar sakta. Lekin unity honi chahiye jaise South me hai. South me aap kisi k khilaaf bol k dikhao. Kisi ki himmat nahi hogi. Toh jo South me hai vo idhar nahi hai.”
