Expressing his fear for his family, Vikrant said, “I am getting threats on social media and WhatsApp. These people know that I have become a father 9 months ago. They are dragging my newborn son into this. I am worried for his safety. What kind of society are we living in? It is depressing, though not scary. If I was scared, we would not have made this film and brought it to the people.”
