While promoting the film in Ranchi, Prakash Jha got an opportunity to meet a real life Abha Mathur - CID IG Sampat Meena and when she saw the film’s trailer, along with several other female cops, she was not only impressed with its relevant content but also with its hard-hitting dialogues.
She especially liked the dialogue ‘Jab khaki ka rang sahi ho na toh chahe usse mard pehne ya aurat, tum jaise namardon ko chutki mein uski aukaat dikha deti hai’. Emphasizing on the same, she said, “A leader doesn’t have any gender, a leader is a leader and this is what we teach our officers. So I’m very impressed with this dialogue as I personally believe that when you wear a uniform, you shouldn’t think about what gender category you fall into.”
