Khiladi Kumar said that he is happy with how the recent movies including Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel's Gadar 2, directed by Anil Sharma and his own movie OMG 2 have performed at the box office.

"I hope the industry gives more and more hits. I was very happy when Shah Rukh Khan¡¯s Jawan did such a good business. There are many other films, like Gadar 2, OMG 2, which also did well. So it's very good for the industry. Our industry went through a very bad patch because of Covid-19 times. Now things are moving and it¡¯s a great thing that Rs 1000 crore is a benchmark.

He said that he hopes that Bollywood will soon be at par with Hollywood and mint thousands of crores at the box office.

"Also, I hope that we make Rs 2000-3000 crore films like Hollywood, because the kind of cinema, the screenplay, the script that we have they don't have," he was quoted as saying by India Today.

He added, "Commercial success is important because you have to make other films, but it also depends on what kind of commercial success you will get. Talking about Mission Raniganj (MR), this film is made on a certain budget. I want to call MR a commercial film. It¡¯s not a Jawan or a Rowdy Rathore (Akshat¡¯s 2012 film). It¡¯s not that kind of film. It has a niche audience, but I hope it does good business."
