Speaking with Bollywood Hungama, David Dhawan said, "Our friendship is 50 years old. He has worked in many of my films. He is in this one ('Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai') as well. I told him, 'Fifty years ago, they didn't recognise you; they are discovering you only now.' He is a fine actor and has always been a good actor. I said, 'You are crossing 70 years and are now getting recognition, but it is very good. He fully deserves it.'"
