Ace filmmaker Hansal Mehta is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Faraaz'. The filmmaker who is known for producing gems like 'Shahid', 'Omerta', 'Scam 1992' etc, recently stated that not every good film can be a box office blockbuster. He also stated that small scale films like 'Faraaz' should also be enjoyed on big screen just like 'RRR' and 'Pathaan'.

Expressing his displeasure with media's obsession with box office numbers, Hansal Mehta said, "The box office has become the yardstick for a film’s success or quality, something that has upset filmmakers like me… There has to be an organic growth of a film. Every film has an audience and you have to allow it to breathe. Every film cannot be a blockbuster on Friday and Saturday."

Talking about 'Faraaz' which is based on a terror attack in Dhaka, Mehta said, "We want the audience to slowly discover the film, like go to the theatres and have conversations. Faraaz could have been a film that would have directly gone to OTT but I believe that like there is a spectacle film RRR, Pathaan, there is also Faraaz that should be enjoyed on the big screen. The potential, the immersive nature of the film, the sound, it is a different spectacle. It is meant for the big screen. I want the audience to not only enjoy but also get immersed."
