“Banning scenes of cigarette smoking makes no sense to me. Yes, the Government should be concerned with the health consequences of smoking by the citizens but then they should think seriously about banning the production of tobacco itself.”

“I remember in my young age, I was very influenced by Dev Anand’s smoking … So those fantasies were related to smoking by the leading stars. … As a responsible company and filmmaker, Mukta Arts and Subhash Ghai made sure that there is nothing in our films which gives a wrong signal to the young generation.”
