On his social media account, Annu Kapoor urged people to watch the film before passing judgment upon receiving death threats. He said, “The film advocates women empowerment and talks about the rights of women. First, watch the film and then give your verdict. People have the freedom to speak their minds on social media but they should not abuse. Don’t abuse or give death threats. We will not be scared by these things.”


“We made an issue-based film solely to talk about women empowerment. It talks about the issue of growing population and our intention is not to hurt the sentiments of any caste or community,” the actor added.
