Shaji Kailas in his Facebook post said that he expresses his unconditional apology for the dialogues in the movie which caused pain to the parents of differently-abled children. I request all to consider it as a mistake on our part and forgive us. We did not think about the other aspects of the dialogue when we were shooting it. We were only thinking about conveying the extent of the villain's cruelty to the audience.
