Sharing his thoughts on why audiences hold trailers to such a high standard, he told Variety India, “As far as people’s expectations are concerned, it is only natural. Whether it’s an Indian, Hollywood or Korean film, you look at the trailer first and figure out whether it is something that you actually want to watch. So, trailers have become very important.
