Khan, who co-produced "Laal Singh Chaddha", believes Bollywood hasn't lost its mojo, blaming the early release of movies on streaming services for lower box-office takings. "I feel that perhaps we -- I'm including myself in this -- as Hindi filmmakers, need to... also pick topics which are relevant to a larger audience, as opposed to picking topics which are relevant to a smaller audience," he said.
