The ones in my film are very aesthetic. įurthermore, the lovemaking scene between Parashar and Kapil Sharma is facing censorship. This came despite Parashar winning acclaim from Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Chhagan Bhujbal for his sensitive portrayal of gay men. The real life parents of Yuvraaj Parashar, one of two lead characters, have initiated legal action to disown him because of the shame arising from the film, claiming to "not want to see his face even in death".
