How much can you laugh at your own jokes? But when we watched the film yesterday, we laughed all over again," chuckles director Amar Kaushik, whose second film — the Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam starrer Bala — is barely a week away from release. The filmmaker hit the bull's eye with Stree last year. While the Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor-led horror comedy had undercurrents of feminism, Kaushik says his upcoming offering too has an important message laced with a lot of laughs.
