Mohit Suri told Filmygyan, "I love his films. Hum banate hai use controversial (We make his films controversial). Ye same kahaani aap kisi gangster ke sath karo - Bhatt sahab ne kiya hai Sadak mein. (You make Sandeep kind of films with a gangster, Mahesh Bhatt has made Sadak like that). We are from that school of cinema. Ram Gopal Varma has made such films too. Everyone has the right to make their films. You have a right to like it or not like it."
