Talking about the film, Ayushmann said, “This movie is very close to my heart. It has been a while since same-sex love was decriminalised, however, I believe we have a long way to go before society accepts it.
"Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is a lighter take on the reality of homophobia that exists in India and also an attempt to bring such unconventional stories to the fore," he added.
The film brings same-sex romance to mainstream cinema with the protagonists trying to convince their parents to accept their relationship.
"Art and cinema, in my opinion, can do a lot to change mindsets. With Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, that was our intent, to bring the conversation on same-sex love to all of India," the actor opined.
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan directed by Hitesh Kewalya released on February 21, 2020. The film garnered appreciation from audience and critics alike.
