The filmmaker added that he was not privy to the situation and needed to know both sides of the story.

Anubhav Sinha shared his experience and recalled how he came to Mumbai and had only one number. Comparing himself with Siddharth Anand, he said that the director went to school with Hrithik Roshan. The filmmaker added that no one could not change the fact that Anand belonged to Mumbai. Similarly, he gave an example of Amitabh Bachchan’s son Abhishek Bachchan.
