While speaking to WION, Kapoor talked about the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence taking over the world. "In the last year or so, when we made this film, suddenly, a lot of talk around Chat GPT started, and AI became very very common. And, now, every day, we see a lot of news articles on AI. So one or two years ago, we started this bravely, thinking that people would understand it by watching it. However, while we were making the movie, the talk about it had already started. So from this, we only get a feeling that it may enter our lives in a while, but perhaps it will enter our lives sooner than we have thought because it's less than a year since it all started and we are already talking about it so much, so it's relevant and it's possibly in the near future.''
