Shetty on drama's message
Shetty further added that the film has a beautiful message that could be an "eye-opener for modern-day parents."
"I think this generation believes in equality, and that you have to live your dream and not live the dream of your parents. I'd want my children to live their dream, not mine," he said.
"I took this film on because it was a simple story to tell...and I am glad that such stories are being heard and are finding global platforms."
