Speaking about the film’s subject, Ishaa had earlier said: “Still today, in arrange marriages in-laws often place bizarre conditions in front of the girls. Like show your hair length, walk like this way, whether she can cook and so on. There are so many women who have faced this situation and they will relate to our film.
