At a promotional event of his upcoming film, Jagga Jasoos, Kapoor said, "The trend has been going on since my grandfather's (Raj Kapoor) time in the 1950s... The style of making films where everyone makes money, not just the producers, but also distributors and exhibitors. It is a healthy exercise. If someone loses money on something and you have made money out of it, it's good to compensate. But that depends on the person and film."

Kapoor cited the example of his grandfather who followed a similar practice. "When Mera Naam Joker (1970) released, distributors incurred losses. So when Bobby (1973) released, my grandfather gave a bigger share to the distributors than the exhibitors. Personally, if my film fails and I am making money out of it, then I will pay back the distributors," said Kapoor.
