Even though the film was a box-office failure, social media users keep digging scenes from it to have fun. It has attracted multiple memes on Twitter and Instagram. In 2009, he participated in the third season of the Indian reality show Bigg Boss, which was hosted by Amitabh Bachchan . He was eliminated from the show and came back as a wild card entry.
