“The movie that the viewers would see is completely different. My movie is not a remake it is an adaptation so there are many scenes and instances that were not a part of the Marathi movie", he said.

When asked what difference the viewers would get to see in the Gujarati adaptation he said, “In the Marathi version of the film we just got to see the him suffering but in my movie the viewers would get to see how Harindra Pathak (Siddharth Randeria) is taking his wife Mangala Pathak (Dipika Chikalia) on a vacation and also how Harindra also worked as a labourer.”

He also urges the audience to watch the movie and then come to a decision, “It is a family oriented movie and one should go along with their families to watch the movie and they would automatically realize the difference between both the films", he added.
