A few months ago, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Karan Johar had admitted that he received bad reviews for the film and thought it would flop. He was very depressed at the time of the release of the film.
He further recalled, "I called Anil Thadani who was a massive distributor producer, and exhibitor, and I called him, and he was like 'Karan are you going crazy? This is pre-Eid, just wait for Monday.' He said Monday if your advance is good for the second week that means you are home. I walked to a temple, I was very dramatic in my head. I was like if the film flops what am I gonna do because my dad (Yash Johar) told me if this film flops, we will have to go back to our old house because we put all our money into this film whatever we made on 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.'”
