Talking about how Bheema from Maharani worked for the people of his town, Sri Ganganagar, he said, "So where I am from, they don't like films like Ship of Theseus and Tummbad, they enjoy content like Maharani. This is my first content which is so massy and accessible. Now when I meet people at weddings, they call me 'Bheema Babu', and now for the first time citizens of Ganganagar think that I have achieved something good as an actor (sic)."
