Tarun Mansukhani on Housefull 5 negativity

Housefull 5 director, Tarun Mansukhani, joined DNA India, sharing his thoughts about the masses' reception to his film, despite the negative reviews, and social media campaigns. Tarun slammed the trolls or influencers who blasted the film just for attention, and says, "Aapko kuch likes chaiye, aapko followers chaiye. Jo aapko kehna woh aap keh loge. Main aapko rok nahi sakta. Aapka camera hai. Aapko jo kehna hai keh lijiye, baki audience ne bol diya hai unhe kya pasand aaya hai. Unhone itna pyaar diya hai film ko, ki aap bolte rahiye, mujhe nahi farq padta hai."
