In an interview with Variety, the Atrangi Re actor said, "Wow, you worked out the maths quicker than I did! I'm very proud of this kind of projection and I think it's testament to the fact that genres, stories and characters are always king," he said.
"Whilst I'm excited for what should be an incredible 2022, I think if these past two years have taught us anything, it's that nothing is bankable. Let's see how the cookie crumbles and maybe we can have this same discussion about box office figures this time next year?" Kumar added.
