The actress recently shared how Laxmi felt after watching Malti’s character on the screen. She said, “Laxmi felt like she was seeing herself. I felt like I was looking at myself and she felt like she was looking at herself. I think there's no better and bigger validation for an actor that when you're playing a real-life character and the person is in front of you and says, 'I feel like I'm seeing myself.”

On the other hand, the makers were elated when Central Board of Film Certification allowed this film the ‘U’ certificate. Now that the movie is reaching the audience from all age groups, there is no denying that the impact will be greater. Coming back to the poster, the tagline just reminds everyone to not put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket.
