In an interview Lokesh Kumar said:

I envision my debut feature as a game-changing film on homosexuality. The aim is to spread awareness on the LGBT community, which is much needed, as many parents of adults are not even aware of the existence of this community. The struggles they go through when they find out their children are homosexual or bisexual, and the pain that the children then have to endure because of lack of acceptance, all of this needs to be discussed in the public sphere.

We should respect LGBTQ community, this movie will surely help people understand the problem LGBTQ community face and we hope they live a great life without any grapple.

We hope this movie will open the eyes of people not only in India but people around the world too.
