Hansal Mehta, the director of the film says, “I’m overwhelmed. I feel vindicated that what I believed in most has been recognised. This is my most honest work to date and it gives me the impetus to continue making what I passionately believe in.”

Sunil Bohra, the co-producer of the film said, “Hansal is a friend of mine from the last 15 years but he had never gifted me anything. However last year on my birthday, he gifted me this script and let Anurag and I produce the film.”u00a0
