In the post-pandemic world, a dose of nostalgia works wonders. To lend a touch of the past to his next, director Alok Sharma has fashioned the poster of 'Bullet Proof Anand' as an ode to retro Hindi crime novels.

The makers wanted to bring back the craftsmanship that is almost obscure now. "I wanted the poster of the short to be hand-painted, as an homage to the Hindi crime novels of the 1970s," says Sharma.
