Chopra shared his perspective on the project, saying, "My job as an artist or a filmmaker is to make the world slightly better than what it was when I came. So, if I can make a film that can make a slight difference in people's lives, it inspires me. Money has never driven me. I could have made Munnabhai 3, 4, 5, 6... and become a multi-millionaire, which I'm not. I chose to make '12th Fail' with Vikrant Massey."

'12th Fail' is not only making a mark at the box office but also leaving a lasting impact with its inspiring narrative, resonating with the dreams and struggles of many.
