Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who is gearing up for the release of ‘

Khandaani Shafakhana

’, says she decided to do this film because it's a relevant subject and did not want anyone to shy away from talking about sex while also talking about gender equality.

Directed by Shilpi Dasgupta, the film depicts the journey of a young girl who inherits her deceased uncle's sex clinic in Punjab.

"I decided to do this film because it's a very relevant and important subject that should be discussed. I don't want anyone, woman or man, to shy away from talking about this topic. I hope my doing this film, will give them the courage to talk about sexual issues openly. I am sure this movie will get people thinking... and talking. 'Baat toh karo'," Sonakshi said in a statement.

The actress also went on to state that the film will also touch upon gender equality. She stated that when a man is a gynaecologist, no one questions his decisions, but a woman in this scenario has her own brother looking down on her for running a sex clinic.

The film that also stars Varun Sharma and rapper Badshah in key roles is set to release on August 2.
