Ranbir Kapoor told Bollywood Bubble, “I think, content has to be great. That’s always key. But we are in a time in the world right now, there are so many voices. You know, if it’s social media, if it’s voices, it’s so many opinions, critics, trade pandits, you know, all of that. But movies also need a lot of support. We need support especially from people, from the media. You know, they are in the place of so much of power.”

The actor added, “Media is what people believe. So, we’ve been tied of this period, where there is negativity. Of course there is a lot positivity and positivity always wins. But the kind of balance, balancing it out. I think, the media, if they get a little bit more responsible and take a little bit more charge, I think, that’ll be really nice absolutely you know.”
