The ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ director also urged people to take their significant other to the theatres to watch the film. Why? “And if you happen to have a partner this Valentine… take them to watch #tuyamain and tell them to wear armour because you will clutch onto them in FEAR!!!!” Johar further added, “I am still stressed, and the film got over 30 minutes ago! I feel like a crocodile may appear even in the middle of Mumbai traffic and attack me ( I am dramatic, I know but this film has made me take an extra dose of my BP meds).”
