Aur itne bade level pe commercial film bnaai hai, aur uska message choti si ek line ka hai. [I mean, just look at 3 Idiots or 12th Fail and see what they convey. I also felt that Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a fully commercial film, but it carries a very interesting message — ‘a human is just a human.
' They have made a big-level commercial film with a message that can be summed up in a single line.]” During the same podcast, Mukesh Chhabra recounted the time when his mother, Kamal Chhabra, was suffering from heart-related issues. He shared that Akshay Kumar helped him during that time.
