When asked to comment on Nana Patekar and Sajid Khan, who have been ousted from 'Housefull 4' by Fox Star Studios, the producers of the film, Shroff said, "I don't want to fan it.

If they don't remove them, there might be an agitation. So let it rest." 'The Playboy Mr. Sawhney' revolves around young guy (Tahir Raj Bhasin) who is facing problems with his girlfriend seeking the advice of his grandfather (Jackie Shroff) in the matters of love and life.

Talking about his association with the short film, Shroff said, "Not only me but a lot of people are making short films. I hope filmmakers keep approaching me to do short films so that I continue working in them."
