Talking about Alia and Shraddha Kapoor, Mohit said that they are biased towards him. “Those two are biased also. Dono teaser se hi film ko support kar rahe the (They have been supporting the film since the teaser). They are biased towards me but to see the rest of the world love it the same way, as they have, is more important also.”

Mohit Suri talked about a young Alia’s reaction after watching his Woh Lamhe music album. He said, “Mujhe yaad hai Alia jab choti thi toh mai apni pehli film ka video Bhatt saab (Mahesh Bhatt) ko dikhane lekar gaya tha, Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein ka, Bhatt saab ko itna samaj nahi aya tha (I remember when Alia was young then I went to show Mahesh Bhatt the video of my first film, of Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein, he didn’t understand it much) but Alia was like, ‘this is really cool, papa. I am telling you.’ That time vo filmo me thi bhi nahi (she wasn’t into films) but she always had that in her. She is more commercial than all of us put together.”

The song is from the film Zeher (2005), Mohit’s directorial debut. It was produced by Mahesh Bhatt. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Shamita Shetty and Udita Goswami.
