He also gives a special message at the end of the film where he says, "There's another reason why we made this film. The Indian film Industry is one, we are all one family. But there is another large family behind us which supports us and works with us, and that is our workers and daily wage earners, who are facing great difficulty due to the lockdown. We all have come together and teamed up with sponsors and TV channel to raise a fund.
