In the now-viral clip, the actor was seen saying that films work when we target the masses; otherwise, the result is like that of Ayushmann`s film (Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui), which addresses a relationship with a transgender person. Puneet, in a chat with Digital Commentary, shared, "South mein they made male-dominated films. Pushpa kitni badi hit hui hai because that is catering to the grassroots level masses. Ranbir Kapoor, when he does an Animal, superhit hoti hai.”
