But why should we? People should enjoy this experience first, and if it's necessary, we have 2D prints available as well. So, this is not [for] the number or the money. I want to make something and give it to the audience. This is a gift for them, for their respect and love [they have given] for the last 47 years. This is a gift, an offering from me to them. I have given a children-friendly film that families can watch together. It will also tickle the child in you.”

It's not a challenge but a new experience for the audience."
