Speaking about the plot, Govinda said that such narratives often risk crossing a line when they try to showcase an actor’s private life. "Main request karta hoon… mazaak har jagah par har tarah se acha nahi lagta," he said while acknowledging that humour is an important part of cinema, but sensitivity and respect cannot be compromised.
Govinda also clarified that he does not like what he perceives as interference in his personal space.
