Earlier, about the film Vidhu Vinod Chopra told PTI, "I started writing this film when I was 66 and now I'm 71. You can't write a film like this in months. It takes years because every character has a story. It's not a biopic. It's each one of us... There is a lot of me and you in the film."
He added, "My job as an artist or a filmmaker is to make the world slightly better than what it was when I came. So, if I can make a film that can make a slight difference to people's lives, it inspires me. Money has never driven me. I could have made Munnabhai 3, 4, 5, 6... and be a multi-millionaire, which I'm not. I chose to make 12th Fail, with Vikrant Massey."
