He shared how the film is about an important message and that people are deviating from the message. He explained how the problem of overpopulation is a real issue. Films have the power to bring to light simple concepts like if you have ten children and only a hundred rupees to raise them they will have too little e entities but if you had that same hundred and raised two children the standard of living improves greatly. The director elaborated that not only population but employment, education and many more such grassroots issues have been dealt with.

He elaborated that the issue and the message remain the same regardless of which community the characters belong to. He shared how it is an ‘Indian’ problem and not religious. He even shared how he feels that the contra very wouldn’t happen if they had made they wrote the family as part of another community. Kamal shared how a film with an important message is being subjected to hate for the wrong reasons.
