In an interview with Mid-Day, Priyadarshan reacted to Arshad's claims of being tricked into playing a smaller role in Hulchul. The director said, "I was very upset [when I read what he said]. I could be wrong and maybe it has been misinterpreted, but if he has [complained], I am shocked."

He further recalled a conversation he had with Arshad after the film was released. "After the release, he called and told me, ‘Priyan sir, I never thought that I would get this kind of appreciation.’ Hulchul was a big hit, but Arshad said it was a flop film. That has pained me; why would he say that when it was one of my hit films?"The filmmaker highlighted that people loved and appreciated Arshad's performance in Hulchul. "I am very upset and deeply hurt by these accusations from Arshad. He had no reason to complain," he added.
