In an exclusive Pinkvilla interview with Himesh Mankad a couple of weeks prior to the release of Aankh Micholi, Paresh Rawal was asked about his upcoming comedy film line-up that includes sequels to all massively loved films. The legendary actor modestly said, "Excitement toh hota hai par saath mein darr bhi lagta hai kyuki final product banke aana bhi chahiye. Kyuki humari toh expectations hoti hi hai par logo ki bhi bohot hi expectation hai. They waited far too long for Hera Pheri 3, Awara Paagal Deewana 2, and Welcome 3 also. Toh woh fulfill hone chahiye. Toh uske liye thoda darr bhi lagta hai. But mehnat karenge. Ho jayega aisa lagta hai." (There of course is excitement but there's a fear too because the final product should come out well. Because we obviously have expectations but the people also have a lot of expectations. They waited far too long for Hera Pheri 3, Awara Paagal Deewana 2 and Welcome 3 also. So of course I get scared. But we'll work hard. They will succeed, that's what I feel).
