In an interview to Deccan Chronicle, Sandeep had said, “Initially, they said that it’s about honour killing, but later they said it is about lust. I told them that I am not comfortable with lust.” 

However, Sandeep went on to confirm that he will soon helm a web series. “I am planning to do a web series in the next 4-5 years, based on some real-life incidents. It’s about a group of friends and I know that it can’t be a film because the censor would not give us clearance for it.”
