He said that while being responsible and sensitive, they have kept a commercial approach towards the film so that it reaches the masses. He also said that it is not a love story of two boys, it is about the reaction of their families when they find out that their son is gay. He further mentioned that movies on such topics were made before but mostly in parallel cinema or for festivals.

He also recalled an incident after signing the film where he saw two boys kissing in a mall and that’s when he realised that the industry is ready for a same-sex love story. Talking about homophobia, he said that the team of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan did not want to make a film which only caters to those standing with the homosexuals, because then it will be a pure multiplex film, where you already have people in support of homosexuals. He further added that they want to reach out to those who are against homosexuals and for that they had to give them humour and a commercial texture to the film.
