Luv on plans of reviving the film

Luv was asked if post the release of TJMM, he plans to revive the film with Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor. He responded, “Wo ek aisi film hai jisko main banana definitely chahta hun. But usko banane ke liye ek fursat chhiye, ek waqt chahiye. Wo aise decide nahi ho sakti ki 6 mahine baad banayein. Jab hum wo film banane ki baat kar rahe the, it was 2018. Us baat ko bhi ab 5 saal ho chuke hain. (That is one film I definitely want to make. But that film needs patience and time to start. We can’t be like okay, in the next 6 months, we will make it. We announced that film in 2018 and its been 5 years to that too).”

Talking further about it, Luv added, “Ye film (TJMM) aayegi, uske baad kya main banana chahta hun wo film? Haan, main banana chahta hun. Lekin mere liye ye assume karna ki abhi bhi Ranbir aur Ajay sir wo film karna chahenge, wo assumption to main le nahi sakta. To hoga ye ki jab TJMM ayegi, uske baad agar fir bhi mujhe ye lage ki haan mujhe ye film banani hai, jo haan mujhe abhi tak lagta hai ki banani hai, main in logon ke paas waapas jaunga aur bolunga ki main abhi bhi ye film banana chahta hun. Aur agar ye dono haan bolenge to main definitely wo film bananunga. (Do I want to make this film after TJMM? Yes, I do. But I can’t assume that Ajay sir and Ranbir too would want to be a part of it still. After TJMM releases, if I still feel that I want to revive this film, which till now I do, I would go to them. And if they say yes, I will definitely make it.)”
