On being asked about the criticism during an interview with Indian Express, the actor said, "There is a certain section of the audience that enjoy (romance, song, and dance). We have made this film for families. Indian films are known for the quintessential masala. Today if you say that Telugu cinema is doing well, it is a masala that is doing well.''
In connection with the same, she further said, ''People want entertainment. People have had tough lives, especially the last two or three years have been very tough. Families, a large section of our Indian cinema viewers, enjoy the balance. So, if the story is thrilling and intense, a little bit of breather here and there makes it a family watch."
Rakul Preet Singh was also seen in Runway 34 that was released in April this year. Ajay Devgn apart from directing and producing the film also starred in the film. The film stars actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, Angira Dhar, and Aakanksha Singh also appeared in pivotal roles. Runway 34 is based on the true event of the Jet Airways Doha to Kochi flight, which had a narrow escape in 2015 after facing difficulties to land at the Cochin International Airport in the wee hours of the morning.
