Director Faruk Kabir says his film "377 Ab Normal" is primarily for the hetrosexual population of India. The filmmaker said he has treated the story with sensitivity. "It is a sensitively portrayed story, none of it is caricaturish. Every gay man doesn't need to be a feminine. It is film which is about them but not for them, it is made for the rest of India, for the hetrosexual population of India. We have made the film for the whole country to consume.

"Gay men in love feel no different than any other person. Human emotions are same only sexual preferences are different. One has to deal with their sexuality first, which is an internal fight, deal with family and then there is a social taboo as well," Faruk told PTI. The historic verdict passed by Supreme Court of abolishing Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code that decriminalised same sex relationships, turned out to be a trigger point for the filmmaker. "377 Ab Normal" is streaming on digital platform Zee5 and it focuses on the problems faced by LGBTQ+ community.
