In a recent interview, talking about Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Sara Ali Khan said that the success of this film feels more personal to her. Even though her highest grosser was Rohit Shetty’s Simmba, she says that she can’t claim anything from the success of that movie other than trying to match Ranveer Singh’s energy. She added, "But ZHZB feels more personal. Laxman Utekar, Vicky and me have done this together. I don’t want to put down commercial cinema, this film is a family film, a film that I can claim as much credit as Vicky can.”
