He added, "We were so many kids in the film and we never felt uncomfortable shooting the film. It is a film meant for children my age and also parents who are uncomfortable talking about sex education. This film could have been an eye opener. Being a 16-year-old, I know the issues we face and there are so many things for which we do not find the right answer. I urge all of you to help me sign this petition so that the government reviews the stand of A certificate and makes it U/A so that all my friends can see it."
