'पांडू' चित्रपटाच्या मिळणाऱ्या पाठिंब्याबद्दल 'झिम्मा' चित्रपटाचे दिग्दर्शक हेमंत ढोमे सांगतात, '' दोन मराठी चित्रपटांनी एकमेकांचे पाय न ओढता एकमेकांच्या पाठीशी खंबीरपणे उभे राहणे ही अभिमानास्पद गोष्ट आहे. अभिमानास्पद यासाठी कारण हिंदी चित्रपटसृष्टीत हे सहसा दिसत नाही. हे केवळ मराठीतच होऊ शकते. 'झी स्टुडिओ'ने नेहमीच मराठी चित्रपटांना आधार दिला आहे. त्यांच्या पाठिंब्यामुळे वेगळे बळ मिळाले आहे. लॉकडाऊननंतर मराठी चित्रपटसृष्टीचा नव्याने प्रवास सुरु होतोय. या प्रवासात प्रेक्षकांची साथ महत्वाची आहेच. मराठी मनोरंजनसृष्टीचा सोहळा सुरु झाला असून हा आनंद अनुभवण्यासाठी या सोहळ्यात मराठी रसिक प्रेक्षक नक्कीच सामील होतील.''
