The producer adds that the Prime Minister's voice takes the narrative ahead as he is an inspiration for the protagonists. " ABC is about a brother whose dream is to educate his sister. Whenever the children face challenges, Modiji's voice serves as the guiding light," he says, adding that the team plans to show the film to Modi once it is complete.

Shetty, who was the first actor to come on board for the project, says, " I did the film because I strongly believe in Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao."
