When we asked him why he chose to work on Hindi Medium, he said, “for a very long time I was wondering why do we not make films for kids, which also entertain their parents, Hollywood does that brilliantly. So I wanted to work in a movie where kids and their families would enjoy the film equally. And I think Hindi Medium is a film like that.”
