He said, "I am hoping that just like my other films such as Fashion, Page 3 and Corporate were appreciated by the people from our industry, they would hopefully not get disturbed or upset by Wives of Bollywood because if you have applauded my that kind of cinema and put me on a pedestal, then you should surely appreciate this subject too."
