He emphasized the fact that how they should be encouraged to watch and enjoy a movie in the cinema halls on big screens.

Suniel Shetty also spoke about the importance of working towards stopping and removing the negative sentiment the audience has towards the Hindi film industry. He said that the hashtag #BoycottBollywood is alarming. Suniel said, "The hashtag that is going on, Boycott Bollywood, yeh ruk bhi sakta hai aapke kehne se (it can stop if you say). It is important to spread the word that we are doing good work. One rotten apple is everywhere. But, just because of that, you can not call the whole industry rotten. Today people think Bollywood is not a good place. But we have made such good films here. I was a part of one such film when I did Border. I have been a part of many good films. We have to come together and work towards how we can get rid of the Boycott Bollywood hashtag. We have to figure how we can stop this trend."
