He calls Ganesha as his favourite lord since it was his blessing only, which gave him a good response for his earlier release Krish 3. His negative character was appreciated a lot, for which he thanks Ganesha. According to him the presence of the idol in his home brings in peace of mind and prosperity. As the actor is busy shooting for Mumbai Saga, he would certainly require the blessing of his lord, which comes in the form of Ganesha.
