As quoted by Hindustan Times, Abbas-Mustan said, "No other actor except Kapil Sharma came to our mind for the script of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. We never go further with the script till we get the correct actor for it. And we have seen the popularity and know that Kapil only can justify the film's character."

Making a reference to the King of Bollywood, SRK, the directors said, "We made a movie with new face like Shah Rukh Khan and he became a star and now Kapil Sharma is in this one (Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon)."

"We have just cast them (new faces) in the movie, how high they go is their luck. It is not in our hands," added Mustan.

Mustan also said that after Shah Rukh's Badshah, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon is a comedy film, which the public will "definitely enjoy".
