Sharing Ved's box office collection, Taran tweeted on Sunday, "Marathi film Ved is now the second-highest grossing Marathi film after Sairat… As expected, biz (business) doubles on [third] Saturday [vis-à-vis Friday], expect big gains on Sunday again… This one refuses to slow down… [Week 3] Friday 1.35 crore, Saturday 2.72 crore.

Apart from Riteish and Genelia, Ved also has a special guest appearance by Salman Khan, who was seen in the song Ved Lavlay. The film also marks Genelia's Marathi debut. Last year, Genelia and Riteish were also seen together in the comedy film Mister Mummy, which was released on November 18. After making a comeback to acting, Genelia is reportedly also planning to return to Telugu cinema with an untitled film that introduces Karnataka’s former minister Gali Janardhan Reddy’s son Kireeti as lead actor. The bilingual film, in Telugu and Kannada, will be directed by Radha Krishna.

Next, Riteish will be seen in the upcoming horror-comedy Kakuda alongside Sonakshi Sinha and Saqib Saleem, and in Sajid Khan's comedy film, 100 percent, alongside John Abraham, Nora Fatehi, and Shehnaaz Gill.
