Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, who is known for his hard-hitting films, including 'Chandni Bar' and 'Fashion', said he is a huge fan of the "Star Wars" franchise.
"I used to take video cassettes of "Star Wars" and watch it. I am happy. It is a big film, there are lots of expectations," he said.
Ask him if "Star Wars" will be able to beat "Dilwale" and "Bajirao Mastani" at the box office, Madhur said, "It is an English film. There is a different zone of Hindi films. But in terms of English cinema, it will be huge grosser."
Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra said, "For 25 years the film has entertained people and it's great."
Actress Sonali Bendre said she is also a fan of "Star Wars" and so is her producer-director husband Goldie Behl and her son.
