Ahlawat did clarify and say, "We cannot glamorise violence. Even the makers know there is a limit to showing the degree of violence onscreen. It will look weird. Even the Censor Board will never allow you to show the real violence that exists in the society, so it’s not possible to glamorise it. You cannot even show five per cent of it."
