Punjab’s development push under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is bringing renewed focus to Nangal as a tourism destination. Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains announced that the city will soon get a modern “Nangal–Bhakra Dam Museum”.
The project is expected to become a major attraction and significantly enhance the city’s identity. It is aimed at drawing tourists and boosting the local economy.
Bhagwant Mann: Project revived after nearly two decades
The museum project, which had remained stalled for almost 20 years despite multiple foundation stones, has now picked up pace. Authorities confirmed that construction work is progressing continuously, both day and night.
Nangal is set to get a modern “Nangal–Bhakra Dam Museum” — a major attraction that will draw tourists and elevate the city’s identity to new heights.

The revival of this long-pending project reflects the government’s intent to complete delayed infrastructure initiatives. It is also being seen as a step towards restoring public confidence.
Nangal set to emerge as tourism hub
Along with the museum, several other projects are being developed to transform Nangal into a vibrant tourism hub. These include a Glass Bridge, a modern auditorium, and additional infrastructure upgrades.
Officials believe that these attractions will significantly increase tourist footfall in the region. The combined development is expected to create new opportunities for local businesses.
Boost to local economy and identity
The upcoming projects are likely to generate employment and support small businesses in and around Nangal. Increased tourism activity will also contribute to the city’s economic growth.
Authorities said that the focus is not just on infrastructure but also on giving Nangal a distinct identity on the tourism map.
Government’s focus on regional development
The initiative is part of the Punjab government’s broader strategy to promote tourism and regional development. The administration is working to develop lesser-explored destinations across the state.
Officials reiterated that such projects will continue to receive priority. The goal is to ensure balanced development and create new growth centres in Punjab.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has outlined the state’s growing focus on improving transport and aviation connectivity. He stated that Madhya Pradesh is advancing towards becoming a well-connected state, both domestically and internationally.

Highlighting recent developments, Mohan Yadav said that Indore is witnessing major improvements in air connectivity, including expansion at the international level. Significant investment of around ₹50 crore has been made to upgrade infrastructure.
He noted that the expansion includes multiple new check-in terminals and enhanced passenger facilities. These upgrades are aimed at handling increased passenger traffic efficiently.
New airports planned across cities
The Chief Minister said that new airports are being developed in cities like Rewa and Ujjain, among others. These projects are expected to boost regional connectivity and open new opportunities for development.
Currently, Madhya Pradesh has around eight airports, and the number is set to grow further. The expansion is part of a broader strategy to strengthen infrastructure across the state.
Ambitious connectivity targets set
Mohan Yadav highlighted the government’s long-term vision for aviation infrastructure. He stated that the goal is to have a commercial airport within every 150 kilometres.
Additionally, plans are in place to establish a helipad every 45 kilometres. This is expected to significantly improve last-mile connectivity and emergency access.
Boost to economy and tourism
Officials believe that improved air connectivity will boost trade, tourism, and investment in the state. Better access to cities will make Madhya Pradesh more attractive for businesses and travelers.
The development of airports in religious and cultural cities like Ujjain is also expected to increase tourist inflow. This will directly benefit local economies.
Towards easier and faster travel
The Chief Minister said that the expansion of aviation infrastructure will make travel more convenient for people. Reduced travel time and better connectivity will enhance overall mobility.
He added that the government is committed to making every journey easier and more accessible. Continuous infrastructure upgrades are being prioritized.
MP positioning itself as a development leader

— Chief Minister, MP (@CMMadhyaPradesh) April 4, 2026
The announcement comes as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector. A large number of farmers have already participated in the procurement process.
Mohan Yadav: Over 19 lakh farmers complete registration
According to official data, more than 19.04 lakh farmers have registered for wheat procurement in the state. This reflects strong participation and trust in the government’s support system.
Officials said that the registration process has been streamlined to ensure ease for farmers. The high number indicates preparedness for the upcoming procurement season.
Wheat procurement at ₹2625 per quintal
The state government has fixed the wheat procurement rate at ₹2625 per quintal under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) system. This is aimed at ensuring farmers receive a fair and stable income for their produce.
In addition to MSP, farmers will also get a bonus of ₹40 per quintal. This additional incentive is expected to further support farmers financially.
Procurement dates announced for divisions
Wheat procurement in Madhya Pradesh will begin from April 10, 2026, in Indore, Ujjain, Bhopal, and Narmadapuram divisions. The process will start from April 15, 2026, in all remaining divisions.
Officials have stated that necessary arrangements are being made to ensure smooth procurement operations. Adequate centers and facilities are being set up for farmers.
Focus on smooth and transparent process
The government has emphasized that the procurement process will be transparent and efficient. Steps are being taken to avoid delays and ensure timely payments to farmers.
Authorities added that digital systems and monitoring mechanisms are being used to streamline operations. The aim is to provide hassle-free experience to farmers.
Boost to agricultural economy
The procurement drive is expected to provide a major boost to the agricultural economy of the state. With assured prices and bonus incentives, farmers are likely to benefit significantly.
The initiative reflects the government’s focus on farmer welfare and income security. More such measures are expected to support the farming community in the coming months.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed the media, outlining the key achievements of various departments over the past four years. He emphasized that the government has taken significant steps towards building a Digital Punjab.
He stated that more than 8.20 crore government services have been delivered to citizens so far. This reflects the scale at which digital governance initiatives are being implemented across the state.
Bhagwant Mann: Services reaching people at their doorstep
The Chief Minister highlighted the success of the ‘Bhagwant Mann Sarkar Tuhade Dwaar’ initiative. Under this programme, citizens can now access over 465 government services from the comfort of their homes.
This doorstep delivery system is aimed at reducing the need for physical visits to government offices. It is also helping in saving time and increasing convenience for the public.
Service centres witnessing high footfall
Officials noted that service centres across Punjab continue to play an important role in public service delivery. Around 30 lakh people are benefiting from these centres every month.
These centres act as a bridge for those who may not have direct access to digital platforms. They ensure that government services remain inclusive and accessible to all sections of society.
Four years of governance and reforms
Bhagwant Mann said that the achievements are part of the government’s consistent efforts over the last four years. The focus has been on transparency, efficiency, and ease of access for citizens.
He added that digital transformation is not just about technology but about improving everyday life for people. The government aims to further expand such services in the coming years.
Towards a more accessible administration
With the expansion of digital services and doorstep delivery, Punjab is moving towards a more citizen-friendly governance model. The initiatives are designed to simplify processes and reduce bureaucratic hurdles.
Officials reiterated that the government will continue to strengthen digital infrastructure. The goal is to ensure faster, easier, and more reliable access to public services for everyone.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann stated that the state government has ensured smooth and systematic supply of canal water to farmers’ fields. This step is being seen as a major relief for farmers who earlier depended heavily on groundwater for irrigation.
He said that improved canal connectivity has helped farmers access water more efficiently. The move is also reducing irrigation costs and improving overall crop productivity.
Bhagwant Mann: Groundwater levels show signs of improvement
The Chief Minister highlighted that better use of canal water is positively impacting groundwater levels. Reduced dependence on tube wells is gradually helping in restoring the declining water table.
Experts believe that this shift is crucial for Punjab, where groundwater depletion has been a serious concern. Sustainable water usage is expected to benefit agriculture in the long run.
Underground power lines to ease farming issues
Addressing another long-standing issue, Bhagwant Mann said that the government is working to replace overhead electric lines with underground wiring in agricultural fields. This is aimed at solving problems caused by electric poles and wires during farming activities.
Farmers often face inconvenience and safety risks due to poles in the middle of fields. The underground system is expected to provide smoother and safer working conditions.
Improving efficiency and farmer convenience
Officials said that removing physical obstacles from fields will make operations like ploughing and harvesting easier. It will also reduce accidental damage to equipment and infrastructure.
The initiative reflects a practical approach to solving on-ground challenges faced by farmers. It is expected to improve efficiency and save time during peak agricultural seasons.
Part of broader agricultural reforms
The Punjab government has been focusing on strengthening irrigation and rural infrastructure. These measures are part of a larger plan to improve farm productivity and ensure better resource management.
Authorities stated that such initiatives are designed to directly benefit farmers and enhance their income stability. The government aims to create a more resilient agricultural system.
Four years of governance focus
Highlighting the progress, Bhagwant Mann linked these efforts to the government’s work over the past four years. He emphasized that consistent policy decisions are now delivering visible results on the ground.
The administration maintains that farmer welfare and sustainable agriculture remain top priorities. More such initiatives are expected to be rolled out in the coming time.
Balancing growth with sustainability
With improved irrigation and modern infrastructure, Punjab is moving towards a more sustainable farming model. The focus is on maintaining productivity while protecting natural resources.

As per the announcement, Shiksha Mitras will now receive a monthly honorarium of ₹18,000, while instructors will be paid ₹17,000. The revised payments are set to be implemented from this month, providing financial relief and motivation to thousands of education workers.
Officials said the decision reflects the government’s continued efforts to improve working conditions and ensure better support for those involved in grassroots education.
₹5 lakh cashless health facility introduced
Alongside the honorarium hike, the state government has introduced a cashless health facility of up to ₹5 lakh. The scheme will cover teachers, Shiksha Mitras, cooks, and instructors working in government schools.
This initiative is expected to significantly reduce the financial burden of medical expenses and ensure timely healthcare access for education staff and their families.
Focus on education and welfare
Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized that the government is committed to the welfare of educators and support staff who play a crucial role in shaping the future of children.
He urged teachers and staff members to continue serving with dedication, assuring them of the government’s full support.
School Chalo Abhiyan gains momentum

The campaign focuses on bringing every child into the education system, particularly in rural and underprivileged areas.
Strengthening grassroots education system

Bhagwant Mann continued its aggressive crackdown against drug trafficking under the ongoing ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’ campaign, arresting 118 drug smugglers across the state on Day 399 of the drive. The operation, led by the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF), involved coordinated raids at multiple locations.
Intensifying its statewide anti-drug campaign, Punjab Police arrested 118 drug smugglers and recovered 3.7 Kg of heroin, 3.7 Kg of Ganja, 934 intoxicant tablets/capsules, and ₹7,120 in drug money.

During the investigation, police recovered 3.7 kg of heroin, 3.7 kg of ganja, 934 intoxicant tablets and capsules, along with ₹7,120 suspected to be drug money. The seizures highlight the continued presence of narcotics networks as well as the sustained efforts of law enforcement to dismantle them.
Bhagwant Mann: Over 57,000 arrests in 399 days
According to official data, the total number of drug smugglers arrested since the launch of the campaign has reached 57,015. The figures reflect the scale and consistency of the anti-drug programme being carried out across Punjab.
Police officials stated that regular search operations, intelligence-based raids, and strict enforcement have been key strategies in targeting both small peddlers and larger supply chains.
Focus on rehabilitation alongside enforcement
In addition to enforcement, authorities are also focusing on rehabilitation and de-addiction. On the same day, 30 individuals were motivated to undergo treatment and join de-addiction programmes.
Officials emphasized that tackling drug abuse requires a dual approach—strict action against traffickers and support for those struggling with addiction.
Government’s continued push against drugs
The anti-drug campaign remains a key priority for the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The administration has repeatedly asserted its commitment to making the state drug-free through sustained police action and community participation.
Punjab Police reiterated that the drive will continue with full intensity, with a focus on eliminating drug networks and safeguarding the youth from substance abuse.
The latest crackdown was part of a wider strategy to intensify pressure on drug networks operating at both local and interstate levels.
Officials revealed that multiple districts witnessed simultaneous raids, ensuring that suspects had limited scope to evade arrest. Special teams were deployed in sensitive areas that have previously reported higher instances of drug-related activities.
Police sources indicated that surveillance inputs and tip-offs from informants played a crucial role in identifying targets. Several of those arrested were reportedly repeat offenders with prior involvement in narcotics cases.
Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor recently shared a deeply unsettling experience from her teenage years. At just 15, she came across a morphed image of herself on a porn site, an incident that left a lasting impact and continues to affect her today.
Here’s What Janhvi Kapoor Said
Speaking with content creator Raj Shamani, Janhvi recalled the shocking moment. She said, “I don’t know if it was a deepfake, but it was something like that. I saw a picture of me on a porn site.”
The incident took place during her school IT classes. She explained, “We had IT class in school and boys used to go on those sites for fun. My pictures were on there. And this was in school. So that was a weird experience.”
At the time, Janhvi tried to rationalise the situation. She said, “At some point, I was like — this is the cost you have to pay. There is no morality in a lot of these things with social media.”
Yet, she admitted that her perspective has changed over the years. Today, AI-generated images of her continue to circulate online, sometimes even shared by official news pages. Many of these visuals depict her in outfits she has never worn or in poses she has never taken. She confessed that she is not at peace with the situation.

She said "I Saw a picture of me on P°rn Site she was not on the P°rn site. We had an IT class or something where boys used to click on these site for fun and my pictures were on their"
Janhvi Kapoor was last seen in the romantic comedy Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, released on October 2, 2025 alongside Varun Dhawan. The film underperformed at the box office. Prior to this, she earned critical praise for her role in the social drama Homebound (2025), which gained international recognition at the Cannes Film Festival, though it did not succeed commercially. She also starred in the romantic comedy Param Sundari (2025), another box office disappointment.
She will now feature in the Telugu action film Peddi (also known as RC16) alongside Ram Charan, directed by Buchi Babu Sana with music by AR Rahman. Scheduled for release on April 30, 2026, the film is an emotional sports drama centred on cricket and wrestling.Later, she will star in Lag Jaa Gale, a gritty revenge drama alongside Tiger Shroff and Lakshya.
Other upcoming projects include a sequel to Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, an untitled marriage drama directed by Jasmeet K Reen, and the highly anticipated second installment of the pan-India hit Devara.
Social media is buzzing with a Meerut viral video, Uttar Pradesh, that features a retired judge welcoming his divorced daughter back to the parental home like you would welcome someone coming home from an overseas trip.
The video has gone rampant on X, showing the family dancing, playing drums and showering their daughter with flowers as she arrives at the family home. The unusual welcome has confused and inspired netizens alike.
A Celebration of “New Beginnings”
According to reports, the retired judge believes that instead of seeing his daughter’s divorce as a setback, he viewed it as a new beginning. He held a celebration when he brought his daughter home after they had been legally separated for some time due to conflicts in their marriage. Although he wore an “I Love My Daughter” T-shirt, he did not have a problem bringing his daughter home with great fanfare.
यूपी – मेरठ में शादी के 7 साल बाद प्रणिता शर्मा का मेजर गौरव अग्निहोत्री से तलाक हो गया। तलाक के बाद बेटी अपने घर आई तो ढोल–नगाड़े बजे। बेटी के साथ घरवाले नाचते हुए कोर्ट से घर तक आए। सबने एक जैसी टीशर्ट पहनी थी। जिस पर लिखा था– "I Love My Daughter".
Divorce continues to be highly stigmatized in India, particularly for women, and this incident challenges that stereotype. The father of the bride reportedly stated that he sees daughters not only as daughters, but also as sources of strength and pride.
The “baraat-style” welcome for this woman returning to her family after her marriage ended imparts an important message: A woman returning home after leaving an unhappy marriage should be greeted and treated with dignity, rather than with shame.
Reactions from Netizens
Netizens reflected a range of opinions about this event. Many people expressed their support for the father’s actions and viewed them as a positive step toward enabling more women to feel empowered through divorce, while other users questioned whether or not such a public celebration was necessary.
Some users also praised the father for supporting his daughter by celebrating the normality of divorce and for being visible in support of his daughter, while other users expressed concern about the level of spectacle involved with the event.
Why This Story Matters
This Meerut viral video showcases much more than just an internet sensation; it demonstrates how Indians are affected by changing family values. Women dealing with difficult marriages are being accepted for being able to make their own choices when previously this was not the case.

Karan Aujla is one of the most popular names in Punjabi music today. Over the years, he has built a strong global fanbase with hit songs and powerful lyrics. His music stands out for its storytelling and raw emotion, which helped him rise quickly in the industry.
However, a fresh debate has now started around his recent work. Many listeners are questioning whether Karan Aujla is entering a “mid” phase in his career. The discussion gained attention after a Reddit thread went viral. Since then, users have been sharing mixed reactions about his latest songs.
Is Karan Aujla Becoming Repetitive?
The online conversation began when a Reddit user shared a post and wrote, “In a phase of life that Karan Aujla feels very mid. Does anyone relate?” Soon, this simple post turned into a larger debate about his music style.
Several users claimed that his recent songs sound repetitive and more commercial than before. A user wrote, “He fell off after street dreams imo. I kinda liked that album tho.”
Another user pointed out how his themes feel similar now and commented, “He’s getting redundant with his lyrics and themes. I LOVED P-pop culture on release, but it got old fast. He should make more sad songs or concept songs. His songs are fun, don’t get me wrong. But afeem, gutt te ghadi, gaddi, akkhan chadian, ghode, cheene Kabutar etc gets boring after a while. (Sattebaazi too).”
Some listeners also blamed social media trends for this fatigue. One comment noted, “I think add to that, constantly hearing the songs played on reels, fatigue set in faster. And people making a trend out of Karan and his concerts, people who don’t know more than two songs.”
Another user was more direct, saying, “he is mid now, buddy. This guy is not a good singer. Only good in the studio. He promotes gambling, drugs, guns and more. Only thing he has is lyrics, and they are getting old now. He is repeating the same stuff over and over. Same type of song. Same type of lyric.”
One comment said, “The peak example of a person changing due to money and fame is Aujla. Gambling and drinking promotions. Additionally, you see an ego build in him. Aujla, when at its best, is due to his lyrics; his vocals have never been elite. Many fans regret going to his concerts. He drops bangers, but for some reason, now whatever he drops feels recycled. Hits for a few days, but then meh. Not gonna act like I don’t listen to his songs on the daily tho .”
Another user highlighted how his content is now made for social media trends. “he knows for what purpose his songs are used for ( reels and flexing on social media), so he’s creating such songs + the way he puts stake inside any of his MV is just annoying. Daytona was a banger but still in MV inclusion of stake made it annoying, at one point he used to be one of those singers whom I used to listen on a daily basis but right now it’s Navaan.”
One more comment said, “It is pretty great, but becoming formulaic because they have figured out how it works.”
Karan Aujla Ludhiana And Lucknow Tour Cancellation
Right now, Karan Aujla’s P-Pop Culture India Tour has also faced issues. His concerts in Lucknow and Ludhiana have been cancelled.
So far, the singer has not released an official statement. However, the ticketing platform District by Zomato removed the events and informed fans. Organisers cited “logistical difficulties” and “unforeseen circumstances” as the main reasons.
Reports suggest there were multiple challenges. These include venue issues, licensing problems, and ticket pricing concerns. In Lucknow, there were also issues with securing a liquor licence and clashes with other events.
These cancellations come after backlash from his Mumbai concert in March 2024. Many attendees had complained about poor crowd management. Some also reported fans fainting due to heat. Because of this, his team now appears to be taking extra care before confirming shows.
Refunds for cancelled concerts have already started. Fans are expected to receive their money within 5 to 7 working days. Meanwhile, other tour stops, including Jaipur, are still planned. A new “Mumbai 2.0” show has also been announced.
Donald Trump: Amid rising global tensions, Donald Trump made a bold announcement that instantly grabbed worldwide attention.
What Happened?
The situation began when a US fighter jet crashed within Iran during an ongoing conflict, leaving two crew members stranded in enemy territory. While one crew member was quickly rescued, the second pilot remained missing for nearly two days, creating panic and urgency within US defense forces. Reports suggested that the pilot was hiding and constantly changing locations to avoid being captured by Iranian forces, who were actively searching the area.
The High-Risk Rescue Operation
To bring the second pilot back safely, the US launched a highly coordinated and dangerous rescue mission involving advanced fighter jets, surveillance systems, and elite special forces. The operation required precise timing, real-time intelligence, and the courage to enter hostile territory where enemy forces were actively present. Despite facing threats like enemy fire, difficult terrain, and limited time, the rescue team successfully located the pilot and carried out the extraction.
Trump’s Statement
After the mission’s success, Donald Trump proudly addressed the nation, confirming that the pilot was “safe and sound.” He described the operation as one of the most daring and complex rescue missions in US history, emphasizing the strength and capability of the American military. His statement quickly went viral, with supporters praising the leadership and critics questioning the larger implications. Trump’s tone reflected confidence and pride, positioning the mission as a symbol of America’s commitment to protecting its people, no matter where they are.
Why Does This Mission Matter?
Donald Trump: This rescue mission carries significance far beyond just saving one life. It prevented a potential international crisis, as the capture of a US pilot by Iran could have escalated tensions dramatically. The operation also demonstrated the US military’s readiness, advanced technology, and ability to respond quickly under pressure.
Khawaja Asif, Pakistan’s Defence Minister, has caused a stir by making a strong warning to India that included Kolkata. Asif said in Sialkot on April 3, 2026, that Pakistan would respond strongly if India carried out any so-called “false flag” operation.
His statement came soon after India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh warned neighbouring countries against any kind of trouble.
What Did Khawaja Asif Say?
Asif said that if India tried to provoke Pakistan, they would “take it to Kolkata,” and he called the possible response “swift, calibrated, and decisive.” But he didn’t give any proof to back up his claims of possible false flag operations.
The comment has quickly gotten a lot of attention, with many people seeing it as a direct escalation in the rhetoric between the two countries.
Background and Past Issues
The comments also bring back memories of past tensions, like what was said during events like Operation Sindoor in 2025. During that time, Asif was criticised and had to prove claims that were later questioned by analysts and the media.
Critics say that these kinds of statements may not be true and could make things worse in a region that is already very sensitive.
A lot of people are upset and worried
Indian media and strategic experts have called the comments aggressive posturing without clear evidence. A lot of people have questioned the timing and purpose, especially since there isn’t any solid proof.
In South Asia, where stability is very important right now, statements like these could make things worse instead of starting a conversation.
The Big Picture
Khawaja Asif: Political talk isn’t new, but statements about big cities and possible conflicts tend to get a lot of attention. People who are watching say that both sides need to be careful not to make mistakes and keep the region stable.

Hrithik Roshan On VFX Criticism And Audience Perspective
Hrithik Roshan first admitted that bad VFX does exist. However, he explained that judging it is not always simple. He wrote, “Yes, bad VFX exists. It’s sometimes so bad it’s painful to watch. Especially for me… and especially when it’s a film I’m part of. As an 11-year-old kid, I saw Back to the Future on a trip to London, and it changed me forever. I became obsessed. I would sit with my dad’s VHS player studying the frames pause -play pause-play until I broke the player.”
He then praised filmmakers who take risks to create big visual stories. He mentioned films like Kalki 2898 AD, Baahubali and Ramayana as examples of ambitious cinema.
Hrithik said, “Today some special humans among us, like the makers of films like Kalki 2898 AD, Baahubali, Ramayana, ( also my dad for Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish ofcourse) are my heroes, they have the guts and vision to do what’s never been done – all for the love of cinema so that we – the audience get to experience something never watched before. From my point of view, they risked all that money, and years and years of effort just so another 11-year-old kid could feel what I felt. To me, that’s noble. The intention by itself deserves applause! I am proud of my fellow Indians. What I would give to be a part of such dreams, even as an assistant. But this post is not about me, it’s about us, the audience. Thing is, it takes thousands of our artistes working round the clock for multiple years to bring VFX-heavy films to life, so the least we can do is raise their awareness.”
He also explained that filmmakers choose different visual styles based on their vision. Just like animation has different styles, VFX can also vary. So, what looks strange to some viewers might be a creative choice by the makers.
He added that audiences should not judge VFX only on how real it looks. Instead, they should think about whether it fits the story and creates the right emotion.
The teaser of Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has received mixed reactions. Many viewers called the VFX “artificial” and “video game-like.” Some also pointed out technical issues and an overly bright visual style.
The film’s global launch also became a talking point. The teaser was first shown in Los Angeles, which upset some Indian fans. They felt the makers gave more importance to international audiences.
At the same time, Ranbir Kapoor’s casting as Lord Ram has also divided opinions. Some people believe his past roles do not match the calm and divine image of the character. This has led to comparisons with films like Ponniyin Selvan and Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama.
Hrithik Roshan Gives THIS Advice To Viewers
Hrithik Roshan also replied to a fan who asked how to better understand VFX. His answer was simple and practical. He said, “I guess – wait till you watch the entire movie before you judge. Till then, hold your opinion.”
With this, Hrithik reminded viewers to be patient. Films are complex, and judging them based only on a teaser may not be fair.
