Talking to IndiaToday.in, Danny said that he recently watched RRR and Shahid Kapoor starrer action-romantic film R...Rajkumarand found them both 'really good' as he stated, "I love Bollywood big time. In fact, as a matter of fact, a few days back, I watched RRR and another one R... Rajkumar, it was really good."

He added, "What I love about Bollywood is it keeps the story intact. If it's a love story, then the two romantic leads will be seen going at it. Like in RRR, it's about the battles between everybody but they keep up the story even in the singing. And I love that aspect of it. I think it's great."
