Actress Zareen Khan had also accused the film's director Ananth Narayan Mahadevan saying that he was "clueless" about the film. Reacting to her remark, the director has been quoted in a report as saying, "Nobody is more prepared than me in the industry. People come to me for low-budget films with clarity and planning. I found it amusing to read allegations of confusion, extra shots, etc. I execute like a play. Every shot was explained during rehearsals."

Saying that a few long kisses don't make a film erotic, the director stated that there was nothing vulgar in the film. "Zareen may not have been used to that kind of filming. As for the smooches, I have repeatedly said that a few kisses do not make a film erotic. These days every other film has smooches  even a Karan Johar movie has them. In fact, we have shot longer kisses, but we didn't want an 'A' certificate because we wanted women to see the film and so edited them," he said.

As per the producer and director, Zareen had been through the entire shoot and was quite thrilled with the results. The two also said that she was excitedly looking forward to the female-oriented film and that, whatever she had said didn't hold water. Besides Zareen, Aksar 2 stars Gautam Rode, Abhinav Shukla and Lillete Dubey in important roles. The film released last Friday to mostly negative reviews. At the box-office, it has collected around Rs 4 crore after a five-day run.
