“It doesn’t affect me. Now people have a forum or a place to talk, they can say anything. If you’re not getting the story and the feeling right, you can talk about not liking the film. There’s definitely our faith involved, religious faith, religious feeling, it’s a bit weak. So, sometimes people stand up and talk,” Sachach said.
The actor added that he is not worried about the response so far. Having watched parts of the film during dubbing, he feels that the makers have handled the story properly.
“I think the film is well made, nothing has been added just to add, or we haven’t done anything just for the sake of it. From what I have seen, while dubbing for the film, I think it has been done in a beautiful and accurate way,” he said.
