It will be like this, I will only do such things. Generally, manufacturers tend to look at you in the same area. However, I felt the story was beautiful for a reason and I wanted to be a part of something challenging,’ said Gajjar. Both Anand and Gajjar said Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was different.
