I hope all this is being taken in the right spirit.

I'm not trying to put anybody down.

But like I say, there's so much happening in Tamil Nadu

today because of the stampede that happened.

That individual alone is not responsible.

We are all responsible for it.

And I think even the media has a part to play in this.

Today, I think we have become a society that's

so obsessed with gathering a crowd to show your crowd.

All this has to end.

I mean, yes, you have the crowd that go for a cricket match.

You don't see all this happening there.

Why is it happening only in theaters?

Why is it only happening with celebrities, film personalities?

So what happens is it projects the whole film industry

world over in a bad light.

But I'm sure you agree with me.

I mean, even Hollywood actors.

We don't wish this.

Yeah, of course not.

We don't wish this.

We want that love.

I mean, that's what we work hard for.

That is exactly what we work hard for.

You know, time away from family, long hours on the sets,

hurting us, getting hurt in the process of making a film,

going through depression, going through sleepless nights.

For what?

For the love of the people.

But there are ways you can express your love.

Don't endanger people.

Yeah.

And I feel the media should not encourage all this first day,

first show, you know.
