- In interviews reported by SHOWSHA and News18, he said Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are in their 60s and should transition away from conventional hero roles.
- He described stardom as something that changes with audience generations, saying, “You cannot be playing the lead after a certain age.”
- He added that relatability drives viewing choices, noting that “the younger generation might not want to watch the story of a 70-year-old man.”

- Coverage also mentions his planned return with Adhure Hum Adhure Tum following a recent cameo, with release plans yet to be confirmed.
