To see that translate into such a phenomenal mega hit across four languages puts a huge smile on my face." He also said, "It's been a long time since I reached out on social media to you my fans and well-wishers across the country. What could be a better reason than to say thank you for helping make Mahaan what it is. Thank you for the way you celebrated Mahaan. Every reel, meme, tweet and message of yours made me realise yet again how beautiful it is to have your love & support.. the encouragement that makes me want to strive to excel. I will remember this with fondness, humility & gratitude."
