Talking about the same Meghna says, "As a filmmaker, I feel extremely grateful when a trailer is accepted by the audiences. We always hoped that the audience would relate to the story that we were about to share. With the kind of impact the trailer has created, we are extremely elated and encouraged, and can’t wait for the audiences to witness this story on the big screen."

The trailer was launched on Worlds Human Rights Day which served as a perfect coincidence for Meghna. The entire shock & surprise factor of Deepika who's known for her beauty & grace play Laxmi, an acid attack survivor has been intangible. The actress has beautifully balanced the right emotional chord with the audiences in the sneak peek of the trailer, with audiences just eagerly waiting to experience the film now that hits theaters on 10th January.
