Raveena Tandon starrer Patna Shuklla, which recently released on the OTT platform, opened to positive reviews among the audience. Arbaaz Khan, who produced the courtroom drama, compared the movie with last year’s sleeper hit, 12th Fail, which featured Vikrant Massey.

“If you were to only go with the fact that you know a particular subject or a character has been done to death, nobody would make cop films. There’s not a single male actor who has not done more than 10 cop films in his life. But why do we continue to make cop films? The reason why a ‘Dabangg’, ‘Singham’ or ‘Rowdy Rathore’ does well is because they’re different. It’s not that if you make a film on a cop, or you make a courtroom drama, and it has been made in the past, it’s not going to work. It’s what you make because there are very limited subjects that the Indian audience also likes,” Arbaaz told India Today.

He added, “Maybe in Hollywood, there are science fiction and animation films, and they’ve got a slightly wider spectrum of films that they appreciate. We stay within the range we work in. But what works is when you make it interesting. If you find a subject that’s interesting, then it doesn’t really matter if films on those topics have been made in the past. If you notice, recently, there was a film called ‘12th Fail’. We are pretty close or have similar aspects of the film but we are totally different. A film should be interesting, made well and that’s how it should be.”
