Ektaa praised Akshay, stating that his and Jeetendra's discipline and belief are what keep the commerce of the film industry alive and ensure that producers continue to have some agency. She wrote, "The time has come for me to say my thank yous… This picture of Dad and Akshay Sir reminds me exactly of what discipline can do. They are so similar that every time I talk to Akshay Sir, I feel like I’m talking to my Dad… Their discipline & their belief in the producer’s conviction, along with deep trust and respect, is just wonderful! These two men are the reason the commerce of our industry is alive and why producers continue to have some agency. Doing a few films with top directors once in a while only sustains one layer of the industry…"

She added, "For an industry to thrive, you need actors who work regularly so that every producer gets a chance. The pure commerce these two men have brought is rarely appreciated. So, every time someone asks, “Why does Akshay Kumar do four films a year?” know it’s because of the Dharmendras, the Jeetendras, and the Akshays that this industry flourished. In volume, there is job creation. That is what they bring to the table! Thank you, Akshay Sir, for giving every producer, from the top to the mid-sized, a chance to put their best foot forward! Love you, Guruji!'
