Quotes
Sunny Deol
Actor associated with Batwara and son of actor Dharmendra
“There is no point in discussing this. All I can say is, I am very proud of Batwara, and always will be. The box office doesn’t decide the quality of a film. The best film of my father’s career was Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Satyakam. And it was a massive flop. I am confident Batwara will get its due in time.”
