According to him, Bunty Aur Bubli is more of a fun movie than a con movie and the con jobs that have been shown in Badmaash Company are more believable than those of Bunty aur Babli. He also claimed that the con jobs that had been shown in this movie had not been shown in any English or Hindi movie. He did not get such a role in the first three years of his career and he is very lucky to such a role.
