Apart from Farhan, Abhay also penned a heartfelt note on the occasion. "It's been 8 years since I made this film. It's the one movie that had people come up to me and say, "I saw this and I quit my job" or, "I saw this and made peace with an old friend," to "I took a break from work" and even, "I got a divorce!" It inspired people to follow their dreams, to take action, to accept who and where they are. I couldn't ask for more! It was an honour and a privilege to work with you Zoya Akhtar," he wrote alongside a still from the film.
The film was helmed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Farhan and Ritesh Sidhw under Excel Entertainment banner. The film had hit the theatres on July 15, 2011.
