Asked if box office collection matters to her more or the audience's appreciation, Yami told IANS: "There's a Rs. 100 crore, Rs 200 crore, Rs. 300 crore... There is no limit now to the number game, but obviously I want my films to do well. As an actor, you want your films to reach out to as many people as possible and you want them to love it.
