On Hansal Mehta’s Comment

The point is that you are a Creative Director on this film and you were there for 35 days, you are professionally paid for it and then whether the ship sinks or doesn’t sink, you cannot abandon the ship. You own up to your work.”

The actor went on to say, “What I felt was that Vir Sanghvi has made his comment, you don’t have to get out of your way to say ‘100 per cent’, to something which you could have stopped while shooting and said that it is not working, I don’t feel you should do it like this. You were there from the concept based on a book. You could have just walked off.” Anupam Kher also added “He was the person who saw the film and then congratulated all three of us.. Me, Akshaye Khanna and the director.”
