Divyendu Sharma, Sudhir Pandey, Shubha Khote and Anupam Kher also feature in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha that is inspired by a real life story of a woman who left her husband days after their wedding after finding out that his home has no toilet. The husband fights social stigma and crosses several hurdles to get a toilet built for his wife and get her to return home.

The film doffs its hat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Clean India campaign. Akshay also met PM Modi to talk about the film. Later, the Prime Minister also tweeted about the film.
