Malhotra doesn’t feel he’s taking a chance with Gustaakh Maaf at a time when such a film is usually relegated to streaming. “I don’t feel like I’m taking a chance, but a lot of people feel why don’t you think of taking it directly to a streaming platform. But I say no, it’s got beautiful music and good visuals. I want to release it in the theatre. Now, if the film does well, people would say, ‘Visionary!’ But if the film, god forbid, doesn’t do well, people would say, ‘I told you so.’ But for me, it’s not about the film doing well or …
