During the event, an attendee criticized these films for promoting the idea that success can be achieved through violence and argued that such movies should not be encouraged. The attendee also praised older films for their positive storytelling.
Reacting to the comment, Ranbir acknowledged the critique, stating, “I completely agree with your opinion. As an actor, it is our responsibility to bring movies which bring a positive change to the society. Having said that, I’m an actor, it’s very important that I also dabble in different genres and different characters and play varied roles. But what you are saying is absolutely correct. We have to be more responsible towards the kind of films we make.”
