I really enjoyed watching the film. I liked what it had to say. It is a praiseworthy mixture of a message and entertainment. Both father and sonRakeshandHrithikRoshansaw the film and enjoyed it. In fact Hrithik and Akshayare neighbours. AndHrithik is very close to bothAkshayand his wife Twinkle. Says a source in the know, Akshay keptHrithikin the loop about the joke on the extra thumb. AndHrithikwas okay with it. TheRoshansknow when to take a joke on their chin. Toilet: EkPremKatha directorShreeNarayanSingh admits he was nervous about the Roshans thumbing down the joke. Yes, I was a little apprehensive. Actually after Rakeshji saw our movie he did call me. I was delighted and honoured when he congratulated me. I am so happy that he andHrithikboth liked the film and also took the joke in the right spirit. The joke was not meant to hurt anyones feelings and I am so glad they understood that. Its a good feeling to get such positive feedback from people likeRakeshji, Hrithik and Sooraj Barjatyaj.Sorrajjitextedme after seeing the film.Bahotlogonnephoneaurtextkiya.I am deeply touched and feeling very emotional.
