In a podcast with HFPA, Actor Robert Pattinson spoke about his Twilight audition and said that he had decided to nearly quit acting before, because his audition for the movie went so badly. Talking about the same, he said,
It was the scene when (Edward) had a guitar and my agent was like, 'Take your guitar into the audition.' I just walked in and they were like, 'Oh. You brought a guitar. Do you want to play us a song,' and I was like, 'No. This is the worst decision I ever made'. I was saying no and they were like, 'You just brought a guitar just to hold it? Why did you bring a guitar in?' My entire confidence just s**t the bed. "The audition was one of the worst auditions I did in my whole life. I remember calling my parents and saying, 'I'm done, I can't torture myself anymore,' and the next day I got a 'Twilight' audition."

Addressing the same, Dadlani, on his part, said, "I hope people find their way of dealing with all of it, whether through therapy or whatever works for them. Saying it is step one. Some of us get to talk about our lives on public platforms, and that becomes therapeutic in itself, to a degree. I don't know if I got the comedy right, but it sure looks like we did a little bit of what we had hoped to do with this bit. It's a big win in my books."

Rani Mukherji's upcoming film Mardaani 2 is revolves around social issues, with a backdrop of Kota. The trailer of the film was appreciated but residents of Kota did not appreciate this reflection of the city. Keeping the same in mind, director Gopi Puthran has issued clarification on the Kota controversy and said,
"Mardaani 2 addresses a huge societal issue of rape and the rise of horrific crimes committed by juveniles in India. One is deeply moved when such shocking incidents happen and as a writer I wanted to voice this issue and bring to light a terrible reality that today’s India and its youth faces. Mardaani 2 has been inspired by all such incidents that rocked the country and left us all scarred. Despite all the inspirations, Mardaani 2 at the end of the day is a film and not a documentary and it should be seen as that. Kota has been used by us as the setting for this film only. We are, in no way, suggesting that such events or incidents happen in Kota and there was no intention to tarnish the reputation of the city. If this has hurt or upset the sentiments of residents of the city, we are deeply regretful."
