Actors Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh are happy that the audience is warming up to their latest release Aiyaary. They are hopeful more viewers will be drawn to the theatres.
Speaking about his film, which is currently playing in UAE cinemas, Malhotra said: “People have really liked the message of the film. They are connecting with the message which we have shown in the film and of course, it’s a Neeraj Pandey film, so it’s just the beginning for it.”
Aiyaary, also featuring Manoj Bajpayee, is a film with a patriotic undertone, which reportedly led to the film not being able to obtain a no-objection certificate for release in Pakistan.
When asked about it, Malhotra said: “It’s a producer’s thing. There are many (Indian) films which haven’t released in Pakistan, so it’s not the first time.”
Actress Singh also expressed joy on the film’s response at the box office, saying: “On the whole, the film is getting good reviews. I am happy that after four years, the audience has seen me back on the Hindi film screen and I have got some positive response for that. A lot of people are saying that the film is so authentic in showing the way the army functions.
“People are really appreciating the dialogues as they are very crisp, so we all are very excited and looking forward to a more positive response from the audience.”
Aiyaary revolves around two strong-minded army officers having completely different views. The film portrays Malhotra as an army officer sharing a mentor-protege bond with Bajpayee.
