"At the same time, I think whatever responsibility had given to me, I tried to do my level best to make that film better and I did everything as per my capability."
Remo feels that audience was the biggest deciding factor of the film, "Entire team of the film worked hard but I also think audience is the major deciding factor who determines success or failure of the film."
