It has never been that when the movie is running on TV and people haven’t called to tell me how much they still enjoy the film, and laugh aloud while the climax of the film is playing. People not only appreciated the actors for their fantastic performances, but they also appreciated the writing and direction.”
The director had also mentioned that he had finished writing the script of the sequel and the title of the film is No Entry Mein Entry. “This one will be a much bigger film than the last one. It is also much better. The comedy in this is slick,” he added.
