Though Salman Khan and Govinda starrer was a success, Jimmy couldn’t perform well. Mimoh recalled going to the theater with his whole family to watch Partner, as he shared people's reactions to his teaser. He shared people went silent and then clapped and whistled to the teaser of his film.

Nonetheless, after the film's release, by Friday afternoon he stopped getting phone calls and, payments. At the time, he thought that his world had crashed, and he didn’t step out of the house for a year.
Nonetheless, despite the setback, years later Khan called Mimoh's mother and asked her to send him to the sets of Sultan. The actor remembered Khan pointing at him, telling his assistant director, ‘You think you’re struggling? At least you have a chance. Look at him—he’s not even getting the opportunity to struggle.’
He continued by confessing, "That line hit me hard. He told me to hang in there, and said he would stand by me when the time was right."
In addition to this, he also spoke about words of encouragement coming from Abhishek Bachchan, who advised him to not listen to anyone and always remember who he is.
