Anurag said, ¡°I enjoy watching mainstream a lot; good mainstream. Our mainstream today has become very bad, quality-wise. The only person whose own self and honesty you see (in his films) is Rohit Shetty, which is why you enjoy him.'

He said, 'The rest of them are just trying to copy what works, they are trying to be something else. Rohit has taken time to come into his own. He realised he is good at action, so he started controlling that, and it shows.'

He continued, ¡°I will argue with his sensibility, I will argue with his politics, I will argue with other things. But he is as mainstream as Hindi cinema can get. Last was David Dhawan, who was a genre in himself.'
