The clarification addresses concerns that the film may have influenced viewers' religious perspectives. Ismail's intervention suggests a distinction between her decision to lodge a formal complaint and any personal spiritual consequences from viewing the work.

Ismail's statement adds a new dimension to the debate surrounding the movie, indicating that the motivation behind her police report was separate from her own faith journey.
The clarification comes at a time when discussions about creative expression and religious sensitivities remain sensitive topics in Malaysia. Ismail's remarks may contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the concerns raised about the film's content.
