Lyricist Javed Akhtar revealed that he finds it "difficult" to work for his children, director Zoya Akhtar and actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar. "It’s easier to work for others...working for your own children is very difficult...They don’t think, 'He’s our father, so we won’t say anything'...In fact, they feel they must say something," Javed said. He further called Zoya a "tough taskmaster".
