David Dhawan was celebrated and every member of the cast spoke highly of him. Meanwhile, the most emotional moment of the launch was when David Dhawan got teary-eyed.
Varun Dhawan said, “It’s amazing that this man (David Dhawan) is making a film at this age. We are living in times when every Friday, we are questioning cinema. We all love cinema, but we do ask, ‘Kya yeh film chalegi’. All I want to say is that this is a David Dhawan film. Yeh film inke conviction pe bani hai. It’s an all-out entertainer to make you laugh. If my family has had one motto, it is to make people laugh. Mere father logon ko bas hasana chahte hai.”

David Dhawan noted, “He (Varun) has been a great son. He has always looked after me and my health. For everything and anything, he’s always there standing by me. Even in the hospital, he used to sleep there with me. What more do you want? As an actor, he’s improving for sure. What you want, he can give you. But, as a father, I feel that everybody should have a son like him.”
As he said this, David got emotional and had tears. Varun tried to make light of the moment and joked, “Like me and Rohit.” It worked as David smiled and said, “Yeah. My other son, too. Both of them.” Varun then gave a peck to David on his cheeks.
At another point, he further praised Varun Dhawan, “He’s improving a lot and it’s visible. He’s taking care of me also in this age.” A journalist remarked that David Dhawan should not retire. David didn’t deny the speculations but simply said, “Aap apni health mujhe de do!”
