Although the actor didn't deny the fact that nepotism has spreads its roots in the Bollywood as well.

There have been times when the actors are to be blamed for the movie's loss, to which he replied, “There have been situations in the past where the film has been unsuccessful and producers have not recovered the cost of the chunks of money taken by the actor. But more often than not, actors have returned the money and did their next film for the producer to cover up. The industry’s primary interest is to make money. Any sensible actor will not put that kind of financial load on his film, at least not beyond a certain point.”
The actor shall next be seen in Half-Girlfriend where he plays the character of Madhav Jha struggling with the dominance of English language. When asked about the importance of English the actor says, “I think it’s very important because we are all so entrenched in Western culture today. In the digital age, Hindi as a language, has got lost somewhere, specially in cities. I feel it is important to know your mother tongue. I am not saying English is bad, but I think people are not giving importance to Hindi because every day its losing usage. Today English has become a necessity. I cannot blame anyone for that but it’s rather unfortunate.”
