Hirani shared, acknowledging the ongoing cultural significance of his work.

As fans eagerly anticipate Hirani’s foray into the digital space with Vikrant Massey in tow, the director’s commitment to storytelling and script development ensures that his creative journey in the world of entertainment continues to evolve.
