The producer gave a befitting reply to Jaya Bachchan

For your information, let us tell you that producer Prerna Arora reacted strongly to Jaya Bachchan's statement and said, "First of all let me tell you that I am a big fan of Jaya ji. For me, she is the best. I can watch Guddi, Uphaar, Abhimaan and Mili anytime, anywhere and feel happy about life. So, it is very sad to hear that she said that our film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was a flop. Madam should look at the box office figures. Our film made very good profits. It was one of the five biggest hits of 2017".

Filmmaker wants to show Toilet: Ek Prem Katha to Jaya Bachchan

The filmmaker further added that she would love to show the film to Jaya Bachchan and explained the thought process behind the title, "At first we were not sure about the title. It seemed risky to have the word 'Toilet' in the title, especially before 'A Love Story'. But eventually, we chose a different title. As a producer, I have taken risks. What is cinema if it just lives up to expectations? Jaya ma'am has always taken risks in choosing her roles. She did Doosri Sita, in which she played a woman who kills her abusive husband. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is a film I am very proud of. If Jaya ma'am allows, I would love to show it to her."
