Vipul in an interview said to PTI, “We didn’t want to get into politics. We want to explore human tragedy. All politics is on one side and real sufferers are common people. When will their pain come out in front of people? We usually swear at politicians and leave the issue but this real human tragedy needs to come forward. “He also added; “Whatever documents they (CBFC) asked for, we provided and gave every evidence. After scrutinising it, they called the experts. When the screening committee saw the film, they cleared the film after awarding ‘adult’ film certificate with some changes,”
Vipul Amruthlal Shah also praised the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and cleared the movie with an ‘A’ certificate.

He also said , “Usually, there is a belief that the censor will stop such films but the board has very efficiently walked with us in this process. There were some things which could have been better. Still, I feel they did a terrific job.”
