Elaborating further, he stated that the plot of both the films, ‘Dostana 2’ and ‘Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan’, is completely different but the subject is so important that all of them are equally invested in the same and there's no commercial race that they are aiming to win.
The actor also added that he feels the LGBTQ the community has not been represented appropriately in Indian cinema until now and he is happy that they are making a change and wishes 2020 to be a the year that celebrates such stories.
