When asked about Kangana’s remarks, Sonu said he hadn’t heard her comments yet.
But he talked about how important public support from young people is.He said, “I haven’t heard her statement.But I feel that these young people are the ones who make actors, and they are the ones who help you reach this position.”  

He also stressed how public support is crucial in every career.
He added, “As long as they stand by you, you will continue to thrive.If they are not with you, it becomes difficult.That's why everyone should be taken along.”  

He explained that success depends on staying connected with people, no matter what job you have.
“Whatever your profession may be, whether you are an actor, a doctor, or anything else, your existence in this world has meaning only as long as people are connected with you,” he said.

After being told that Kangana had referred to Gen Z as “Generation Gutter,” Sonu strongly criticized the remark.
“If she has said that, then I think it is very shameful.It should not have been said,” he said.

He also shared a message about being responsible when speaking publicly.
“There is a saying, ‘Tol mol ke bol’ (weigh your words before speaking).It is very important to think carefully before you speak because the public is another form of God,” he added.

The controversy started after Kangana criticized Gen Z protesters on social media following demonstrations at Jantar Mantar and other places.
She called the protest content “puke-inducing” and said the language used by the protesters was “jarring and crass.” She also accused them of abusing freedom, claiming they glorify drugs, alcohol, and dependence on their parents’ money.Kangana labeled them “Generation Gutter,” saying they contribute little to society and making further remarks about their abilities and values.Her comments sparked a lot of online discussion, with Sonu Sood being one of the latest public figures to voice his disagreement with the controversial statement.

Dhamaal 4 Box Office Prediction: Film heads towards a lifetime collection of Rs. 165 crores

Dhamaal 4 has been doing well at the Indian box office and has now made Rs.148.43 crores in 18 days.If it keeps going at this pace, it is likely to end up with total collections of around Rs.165 crores.

Dhamaal 4 started strong, making Rs.
13.72 crores on its first day.It did even better over the weekend, collecting Rs.22.48 crores on Saturday and Rs.28.15 crores on Sunday.That means it made a total of Rs.64.35 crores for the opening weekend.The film stayed popular during the weekdays and ended its first week with Rs.94.45 crores.It crossed the Rs.100-crore mark during its second weekend and made Rs.39.75 crores in its second week, totaling Rs.134.20 crores.

Dhamaal 4 continued to draw crowds during its third weekend.
It made Rs.2.32 crores on Friday, Rs.4.45 crores on Saturday, and Rs.5.83 crores on Sunday, bringing the total for that weekend to Rs.12.60 crores.It then made another Rs.1.63 crores on Monday, taking the total to Rs.148.43 crores.It is expected to pass the Rs.150-crore mark soon.

Though new movies will come out soon, which may affect the collections, Dhamaal 4 is still likely to continue earning money for a few more weeks, especially in places where comedy and family films do well over time.

Based on the current trend, the film may earn another Rs.
15 to 18 crores during its remaining time in theaters.That would take its total collection to somewhere between Rs.163 crores and Rs.167 crores.A total of around Rs.165 crores seems to be the most realistic outcome right now.

After many discussions, Ranbir decided to leave the project.
"Ranbir is not doing Dhoom 4 anymore.He has started working with writers and directors to look for new projects.He wasn't happy with the script, which led to this decision and surprised everyone.Dhoom is one of India's biggest movie series, but for Ranbir, the story is the most important thing."
