Ajay Devgn was asked if Drishyam 2 is the tonic to revive Bollywood. Here's what he said. "To talk about tonic, I feel it needs three or four Drishyams -- that is what is required, I hope this is the beginning," he told Variety in an interview as quoted by IANS.

"I feel it is not very easy to make entertaining films -- you have to keep the audiences engaged for two and a half hours. And audiences have become very smart, so you can't just give them bullshit. Even when you talk about entertainment in commercial cinema, you have to give them something new," he said.
