Boy Thakonkiat, the film’s producer representative, said: “The film features both Min Pechaya and Sam Yuranunt. However, I think now, viewers can distinguish between reality and a role. In the film, not only the two actors mentioned above participate, but also many other artists. The film also has many important and attractive contents, not to mention the contribution of the behind-the-scenes crew.”
“If the film is pulled, I want to ask, who are we punishing? Sam and Min Pechaya, right? I think in terms of reputation, they have already been punished a lot by society. Not to mention they may face many punishments later. Therefore, removing the film will not have any effect on them. Instead, it is an act of punishing others. People who are not involved in the incident,” he added.
