"I'm protective because I feel Harsh is still naive. Like for example, he'll say no to very big filmmakers.

That's his decision," Anil said.

To this, Harshvardhan replied that he wants him to do more films so that "I can be creatively more liberated and make the choices I want". 
 
The "Bewafaa" actor quipped: "By which he means, he can be experimental and I make the money. They're all very selfish. They don't care about me."
