Ranbir on Trolling

Before the release, Ranbir Kapoor spoke about online trolling at an event hosted by IIMUN, or India International Movement to Unite Nations. He stated that people should not worry about online criticism and should instead focus on supporters who care about their work and intentions, quoting the song line 'Kuchh to log kahenge'.

Context

Major Indian film releases often expand their theatrical footprint to international territories like Hong Kong in the weeks following their initial festive or wide domestic debuts to tap into overseas diaspora audiences. High-profile productions typically rely on multi-city ticketing networks and subtitled screenings to reach non-Hindi speaking viewers in foreign markets.
