Addressing the audience, Kapoor opened up about the changes in technology over the years and how he has managed to stay relevant with it. He emphasized the importance of embracing technological advancements and adapting to new trends to remain a part of the conversation in the industry.
However, Kapoor's talk wasn't just about technology; he also touched upon the longstanding debate between South Indian and Hindi films.

I believe there are great stories and great actors. All are great Indian films."
