Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal on Wednesday said that he was overjoyed with the box-office success of Hindi movies, including `Gadar 2" as it is encouraging to see moviegoers returning to theatres. The actor`s last released film, `Zara Hatke Zara Bachke`, a romantic-comedy, received good response at the box office and collected over Rs 110 crore worldwide. Sunny Deol`s `Gadar 2` ` which arrived in theatres on August 11 -- has raked in over Rs 430 crore at the box office. Similarly, films like `OMG 2`, Ayushmann Khurrana`s `Dream Girl 2`, and Karan Johar`s directorial venture `Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani` have also done well in theatres. "I`m thankful from the bottom of my heart for what happened with `Zara Hatke Zara Bachke`. The credit goes to people for showering love on the songs, story, and the film, it was really special, and that too at a time when some experts were saying such films will not work, and that this movie is meant for OTT, etc.
"Since then it has been a good run for our film industry, where every film is bringing the audience back to theatres, it is entertaining people, it is making the audience emotional. Like, what `Gadar 2` is doing is incredible. It feels good that every film is celebrated,` Kaushal told reporters at a promotional event for his upcoming YRF project `The Great Indian Family`. The actor hoped that the momentum continues when `The Great Indian Family` (TGIF) releases. "I pray that this film also receives more love, this is also a family film, and this is something that we can rejoice and celebrate with our family. So, fingers crossed,` he said. The family entertainer is directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, known for "Tashan" and "Dhoom 3". Kaushal plays the role of a local singing star named Bhajan Kumar. The makers launched the first song called `Kanhaiya Twitter Pe Aaja`. The actor said in real-life, he is more of a bathroom singer.
