During her recent appearance at the India TV Conclave, Jaya Bachchan questioned the film's title and even called it a "flop."
Jaya Bachchan said, "Just look at the title of the film; I would never go to watch a film with such a name. Yeh, koi naam hai? [Is that really a name?]"
Jaya Bachchan then turned to the audience and asked if they would be okay with watching a film with such a title. When only a few hands went up, she jokingly added, "Among so many people, hardly four people want to watch the film; it's very sad. Yeh toh flop hai. [It is a flop.]"
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is a quirky love story with a strong social message. It follows Keshav (Akshay Kumar), a small-town man who marries Jaya (Bhumi Pednekar). After their wedding, Jaya leaves Keshav's house upon realizing it does not have a toilet. What follows is Keshav's battle against age-old traditions and his family's rigid mindset to build a toilet and win back his wife.
In addition to Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha also features Anupam Kher, Divyenndu, Sudhir Pandey and Ayesha Raza Mishra in important roles.
Speaking of Akshay Kumar's new film, Kesari Chapter 2 is based on Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat's book - The Case That Shook The Empire.
The film's plot revolves around the untold story of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the fight for justice led by C Sankaran Nair, a lawyer and former President of the Indian National Congress.
It is set to hit theatres on April 18.
