On Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, Anuv said that Tamasha changed his life. He shared that when he first watched the film during college, he didn’t like it.

He shared, "The character Ved is me. I was going to work trying to make a difference, but I could see it was not going to happen, as my destiny and strengths were better applied elsewhere, like music. Main bohot miserable tha life mein. Dusri baar jab maine movie dekhi thi, I was contemplating changing my career to music. I saw that movie again, and the next day I put down my papers. It changed my life. I am not a crier, but when I saw Ranbir’s character come to work, maine udhar se rona shuru kiya till the end. I was just crying because I could draw so many parallels. It changed my life."
