¡°I¡¯m hungrier than before to create more spectacles and immersive experiences like Pathaan. For me, yes numbers do matter. It is a validation of all the hard work but film-making is also a team game. So, I share this incredible moment with the entire cast and crew of Pathaan. Each one of us believed in a vision to create a never seen before theatrical experience that cuts across the length and breadth of the country and I¡¯m glad we delivered on this promise," he further added.
Siddharth further in his statement said that Pathaan¡¯s success is India¡¯s victory.
Anand said, ¡°If it connects with people, it can really go to dizzying heights and that¡¯s what¡¯s happening with Pathaan. Today is a victory of Indian cinema because we are all Indians first.
