Appearing on the AP Podcast, Hussain said, “I think a film like this, it celebrates something which is not beneficial for the society. It legitimizes male misogyny. It legitimizes violence against anybody for that matter, doesn’t have to be a woman. And it celebrates it, it glorifies it and it should not be glorified.” He also mentioned that this was the first film he said yes to without reading the script.
