‘This film is packed with conflicts, emotional connections, and everything you need to fully enjoy it. It's a film that accurately portrays all of that. That's the confidence we have coming into this. This is my first film in six years after Ishq. Tovino is my friend. As far as I'm concerned, this is one of Tovino's best performances. I can say that with pride. There are moments in this film that amazed me, moments that made me cry, and many scenes that touched me emotionally. I have complete faith that this will be a landmark film in Tovino's career,’ says Anuraj.
