Director Luv Ranjan is content with the box office performance of "Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2", which has managed to mint over Rs.60 crore. He says it has proven that filmmakers can score big even sans big stars.
"When we get the result of hard work, it gives immense pleasure. So our film 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2' has got good response from audience and I am very happy. If our film wasn't good enough, people wouldn't have liked it so much," Ranjan said here.
"I'm happy that people believed in my belief that successful films can be made without big stars. The film has fared well and is still doing fair business... Making a good movie is my job, how much business would a film do, that's not for me to look out for," said Luv, whose previous film "Akaash Vani" about a marital misalliance was a box office failure.
What's next?
"It took me three years to put together a sequel (to 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama'). It may take me another three years or even more to come up with another film. Right now 'Pyaar ka Punchnama' is doing well... let's see what will be the next," he said.
"Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2" stars Kartik Aaryan, Nushrat Bharucha, Sunny Singh, Sonnalli Saygal, Omkar Kapoor and Ishita Raj.
