Karan Johar wrote, “Chalo thodi publicity bhi ho jaye aur lage haath shubhkamna wala wish bhi de hi doon! Janmadin mubarak Varun aka Kuku! #jugjuggjeeyo
Tum jeeyo hazaron saal
Box office pe machao Bawaal

Dil ke bade ho tum, Bhediya jungle ke,
I love you mere student now and everyday!
One more time for love.”

Doesn’t matter how old you are, you’ll never look as young as me. Don’t even try.” He also added that Varun’s ‘biggest hit’ will be with him. Neetu Kapoor mentioned “You’re really like my son,” Kiara Advani said, “Lots of love, and happiness. First class raho, have an amazing year ahead.” Prajakta Kohli also echoed the same sentiments, saying, “You’re amazing. You made life so much fun for me on my first day on sets.”
