I really hope I maintain receiving such positions because everyone used to be so helpful and invested in the project that they all wanted it to be successful.”

• According to Prathamesh, he faced criticism for his role as Dagdu Shantaram Parab in the film Timepass (2014). In an interview, Prathamesh talked about this and said,
  

  Since ‘Timepass’, I have to face some critics, but I would like to give a message to the youth instead of trollers. I will continue to do my standard work. Because after trolling, people also get a lot of love. I do movies with one haircut, some people say that. Talks, but not like that. Some of my films may be like that, but ‘Ek No’ is definitely not an adult comedy. It has some double meaning jokes, but this is a mystery comedy film.” ^[2]LokMat
