In an exclusive interaction with Filmibeat, film business expert and producer Girish Johar stated, "Sarfira we all know, whatever material we have seen in trailer and songs, it's a very limited urban tier targeted film targeting metros. It's a biopic and it's also a remake of a south hit. Having said that the traction of the film is quite decent but I feel the film will rely on the word of mouth. Despite top lining Akshay Kumar, I believe the audience would want to wait for the word of mouth and then probably the numbers could kick in. As of now, I think the film is cracking around Rs 2-3 crores on its day 1 but if the word of mouth kick in, the evening shows might change gear and it can have a higher number and even a lower number".

Meanwhile, talking about Sarfira, Akshay stated, "This is my 150th film and it is my best film. I am very thankful to Sudha for giving me this film and the opportunity to be in it". He was further seen singing praises for co-star Radhika and asserted, "This is the best performance I have ever seen. I don't know what you all think about her. She is not Maharashtrian, but she has acted like one. She is very well-spoken. Her language was very good and she has gone through whole classes to learn how to speak Marathi and what to say. That is what she has done".
