However many on Twitter don't seem to agree with the actress. Film producer Manish Mundra said, "Both are in same boat those who think a film can change their history and those who think a fictional film from past should be changed suitably to represent today’s feminism."

"Now somebody takes fiction seriously and writes an open letter about a story 100s of years old. The point is if u make a film from your past do changes suitably to reflect today’s feminism," he added.
