Vikrant elaborated and said, "It's such an India story, right? One of the reasons why the film did so well is because there is a Manoj Kumar Sharma inside everyone. Everyone who wants to stand by the right thing. Who wants to genuinely, sincerely in a dignified manner contribute towards their surroundings. Uplift themselves and their families out of dire situations.”
