At the event, Aamir Khan spoke about the impact that South cinema is now having on the audience. “Cinema coming out of any region, in this case, it is Telugu cinema – KGF 2 is a Kannada film – they all have come from the South of India and they have really won the hearts of audiences across the country. I remember when KGF 2 was about to release, there was a lot of audience amongst Hindi audience among my own friends. I must say, Laal Singh (Chaddha) was supposed to release on that day, but fortunately for us Red Chillies was taking a little time on VFX and we got saved otherwise we would have come in KGF 2,” said Aamir.
