Following the backlash, director Uttam took to his Instagram story to issue a statement, apologising and clarifying that his intentions were never to hurt anyone's sentiments. As a filmmaker, he expressed how deeply he was moved by the 'courage, sacrifice, and strength of the soldiers.

He added, "The project was born out of deep respect and love for out nation and not for fame and monetisation. However, I understand the timing and sensitivity may have caused discomfort or pain to some. For that, I deeply regret."

"This is not just a film, it's an emotion of the entire nation and a social image of the country globally. Thanks to our army and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji who make us proud by working day and night for the country with the motto of Always Nation First," said director Uttam.
