What I said in a fun conversation is that some of my friends watched Obsession and told me that it has the same plot point as K-Ramp. I just mentioned it there. I don’t know why they did that.The actor also clarified that he has a lot of respect for ‘Obsession’ and acknowledged its global popularity. According to Kiran, his comments were made in a lighthearted manner and were never intended to harm the Hollywood film.Kiran said, “Obsession is a bigger hit than ‘K-Ramp’; it has a universal reach.
