Kangana Ranaut requests people to watch Tejas

Kangana Ranaut's

Tejas

has received a lukewarm response at the

box office

since its release. The movie had a dull opening as it collected merely Rs 1.25 crore on its first day. Though Tejas has opened to better numbers than Kangana's previous few films which couldn't even get through Rs 1 crore mark, it is still not enough to put a descent total on the board.
Amid the film's poor box office performance, Kangana released a video on Saturday to urge people to watch Tejas in theatres, saying that if they have liked films like

Uri

,

Mary Kom

and Neerja, they will also like her Friday release.

"Friends, my film Tejas released in theatres yesterday. Whoever has seen this film, has been giving us a lot of appreciation and blessings. But friends, after Covid 19, our Hindi film industry has not been able to recover totally. 99% films are not even given a chance by the audience. I know that in today's age, everyone has a mobile phone, and TV at home. But community viewing, in theatres which is an important part of our civilization from the very beginning. Dance, arts... every type of dance, folklores... are all essential. So, it is my earnest request to the Hindi film audience and specially the multiplex ones... if you liked Uri, Mary Kom and Neerja, you will also like Tejas," Kangana said in the video in Hindi.

Before the release of Tejas, Kangana visited

Ram Mandir

in

Ayodhya

for the Darshan of Ram Janmabhoomi. Her visit to Ram Mandir holds great significance as the famous divine temple plays a very important role in the film.

Produced by RSVP, Tejas stars Kangana plays the titular role of

Tejas Gill

, an Indian Air Force officer, in this action drama. Written and Directed By Sarvesh Mewara and Produced By

Ronnie Screwvala

, the film released in cinemas on October 27.
