We are delighted the way it has caught on with the audiences worldwide,” says filmmaker Rahul Mittra who also played the character of an Afghan army officer in the thriller drama.
“Sanjay and all the children in the film have only added to the narrative with their performance. We had two closed-door screenings and everyone who watched the film got extremely emotional,” said filmmaker Puneet Singh who was up for a theatrical release but the OTT release turned out to be a better response considering the pandemic. “The audience wants real and authentic stories. It’s all about content and performance now. OTT has changed the way content is accepted and viewed,” he added.
