In one of his Instagram Stories, Ashish also reacted to people comparing him to Robert Downey Jr. He said, "'Believe me, he's not Robert Downey Jr.' Koi sharam hai tum logon ko? Kyun daalte ho aise captions? Caption tum daalte ho, gaaliyan mujhe padti hain. Tumhari behen ka haath manga tha kya maine? Kal ko RDJ se milun toh kya muh dikhaunga? Lokhand ke haath se chamaat marega mujhe." (Believe me, he's not Robert Downey Jr. Have you people no shame? Why do you write captions like that? You write the captions, but I'm the one who gets abused for them. Did I ask for your sister's hand in marriage or something? If I ever meet RDJ tomorrow, how am I face him? He'll probably slap me with his iron hand.)

Ashish attended the special invite-only premiere in Mumbai ahead of the film's theatrical release. Praising The Odyssey, the YouTuber predicted it would become a blockbuster. He wrote, "Watching The Odyssey made me realise the true magic of the big screen. What a film they've made. It's a 10/10. There isn't a single boring moment in the entire film. It has action, horror, and it's completely Matt Damon's show—he carries the film effortlessly from start to finish. Tom Holland is good, and Robert Pattinson is outstanding. Zendaya is good too. Robert has a very different role and showcases incredible range. This is going to be a blockbuster. It will become so huge that getting tickets later is going to be difficult."
