In a recent interview, Sood expressed his views on the genre, suggesting that Indian filmmakers lack the inclination to create authentic spy movies. He believes they have the potential to do better and create more realistic portrayals. Sood emphasized that many spy films, including "Pathaan," attempt to mimic the James Bond formula, which, in his opinion, lacks authenticity. Furthermore, he finds it implausible that a relationship between an ISI girl and a RAW agent would ever result in a happily-ever-after scenario in real life.
