In response, Anil Sharma disclosed his deep admiration for the Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Answering the question, Director Anil Sharma said, “Katha toh main Ramayan, Mahabharat se hi leta hu. Pichli film bhi Ramayan hi thi, Ram ko Sita ko lene ke liye Lanka mein aate hai. Yeh bhi dekhiye kya hota hai (I always take stories from Ramayan and Mahabharat. The prequel was also based on Ramayan, when Lord Ram has to bring back Goddess Sita from Lanka. Watch this movie, and you’ll find a reference).”
