Kabir Khan On Chandu Champion Low Box Office Opening

In a recent interview with Times Now, Kabir Khan said, "The slow start did throw us off balance. But luckily, the word-of-mouth was positive. Let's see how it goes from here. Nowadays, it's hard to predict anything about the box office. We made a film which we thought would be liked by the audience. I am glad the audience ratio is increasing. These are tough times. We should be grateful for whatever attention the audience gives us."

Talking about if Kartik Aaryan¡¯s portrayal could be a possible reason for the low opening, he said, "That could be a reason, yes. His fans have certain expectations from him. A new narrative, a new experience from him takes time to sink in. Hopefully, we will be seeing more people coming to the theatres to see our film. Those who have seen it have come our teary eyed, very moved. Kartik¡¯s performance is already been singled out for the awards. We have room to keep growing till Kalki 2898 AD releases on June 27."
