first look poster of "Ujda Chaman" h said "takle ki pehli aur original film" (first and original film of a bald man). Ayushmann said "Bala" aims to celebrate complexes and is about self love. " word 'takla' is quite derogatory. It's t celebrating self love. It isn't about just receding hair or baldness. It's about loving and discovering yourself more than anything else. We shot our film first, anunced our film first.

"re's just one line which is similar orwise it's a different film. I've seen South film, after we completed shoot. Once you see film you'll realise ( difference)," Ayushmann said in a group interview. When asked is he bored that both films are releasing almost back-to-back, actor said, "It happened with 'Bhagat Singh' also. I'm really confident about our film, it's a beautiful film and one of best scripts I've ever re. Anybody can come up with same idea."

Earlier this year, a writer h claimed that "Bala" was based on a script he h narrated to Ayushmann, alleging that he was t given any credit for his story. Aysuhmann, however, said that out of all scripts on story, he went with best team. "I got same idea by six different people. I'll just go with person who is more credible. re was a film called 'Hair is Falling' in 2011 and re were a lot of films which were me on receding hairline but just that y weren't successful. "It's my decision to go with best director, best producer and choose best script on subject. As simple as that."

Ayushmann said with "Bala", scheduled to release on vember 7, he approached baldness with empathy. "I've ventured into far-fetched territories like sperm donation and erectile dysfunction, this was most common one... It's just empathy I thought about. I've met both kinds of people, those who are bored by it, those who don't care about it. " idea is to have side more prominent which says that you shouldn't be bored about it. That's also mess of our film," he ded.
