In his note, Anil Kapoor wrote, "To my dear James, I don't know where to begin... from growing up to living our dreams on screen, we were together through it all... you were like an elder brother to me, a shoulder when I needed the support, a mentor when I needed that push and a friend always. Thank you for the endless love you gave my family and me. You were like a son to my mother and you knew that Krishna aunty was always like a mother to me... Along everything that you were for your friends and family, you were a beacon of inspiration for cinema lovers everywhere... I will miss you everyday... nothing will be the same without you... but I will celebrate your life like you wanted us to... Yours Patton Forever. (sic)."
