Earlier, defending the poster depiction, director Santosh Upadhyay said, “ sometimes our perspective of viewing things is wrong, which leads to misconception.”

He further said, “The entire film is based on menstruation hence, it is mandatory to show the pad. That’s why there is a pad on the poster and not Krishna Ji on the pad. Due to which, we are also receiving less support to promote this film.”
