"Firstly every story has its correct budget and Ashwatthama is a big canvas film. Now, one has to understand the mathematics of our business. In India we cannot make a film of Rs 500 crore and expect fast recovery. We made Uri for Rs 28 CR and it looked like a film with a budget of around Rs 60 crore. So basically we are a team of people who can offer you a grand-looking film within a small budget," the National Award-winning filmmaker had said.
