According to a news portal, Nikkhil Advani mentioned that Hasmukh was perceived as a comedy.

Nikkhil Advani mentioned that the second season for Hasmukh will be more layered. He added that people need to understand that a small-town character and his jokes cannot be like Trevor Noah. The character will try to replicate someone like a Jaspal Bhatti or a Kapil Sharma. Having said that, Nikkhil also added that maybe the positioning of the character was wrong. According to the maker, when the audience watches Vir Das, they expect great comedy and not something mediocre like it was portrayed in the show. Nikkhil Advani believed that Vir Das performed his character well and is all deserving of the praises he is getting. The makers have mentioned that the second season of Hasmukh will be a beast as compared to the first season, according to a news portal.
