vijay : how did this film come to your mind
Sajid Khan : dear vijay its an incident which happened with a friend of mine from college. how from a complete skirt chaser whos marraige was almost on the rocks, he became the worlds greatest husband and father when his daughter was born
AksFilmi: Sajid any genre u wanna try..That ll surprise your fans .can we expect Sajid directing off beat movie or some serious subject
Sajid Khan : aksfilmi, I am a big fan of horror action films and some day I would like to direct the greatest action horror film ever made in this country.
niqbalin dubai : i know u r good from heart no hassles sajid but this is for sure if u make some serious cinema there will be a mark of ur own i swear
Sajid Khan : dear niqbalin thanks for the advice, i will remember what u have said to me
instant_karma : y is there an overdose of publicity and promotion for the movie,arent u confident enough?
Sajid Khan : dear instant karma, that purely depends on the audience
Saahil : Why have u used SRK in the movie? Its due to farah only ??
Sajid Khan : dear sahil, the song (when u see the film u will know) needed a superstar's presence n who bigger than srk u tell me?
diesel : i was read an article from one of the filmmaker that the worst thing to do in a comedy is to pump in a lot of money. a lot of great comedy movies from scripts (like bheja fry). do you believe in that?
Sajid Khan : dear diesel, i dont think thats true, money is pumped in in a film only to enhance a good script to add production value to a film but a comedy works solely on the basis of performances n punchlines. hopefully, u will discover that in heyy babyy n btw i didnt like bheja fry, but thats me.

al1 : hi sajid, R u acting in ur movie.it may be a plus point
Sajid Khan : no al1 sorry yaar
rohit : how did you learn direction?
Sajid Khan : dear rohit, by watching movies all my life, reading about them, seeing the special features on dvds, and listening to directors commentary on dvds
