Describing the film as ‘a story of our polarised times’, Mehta said through the attack on the Holey Artisan cafe in Dhaka, he has tried to explore the broader theme of violence and what really drives young, vulnerable minds towards it.

"Designed as a nail-biting thriller that plays out over one tense night, my attempt with 'Faraaz' has also been to shine a light on the immense courage and humanity that it takes to stand up against violence. Because standing up against bigotry and the carnage it triggers is the only way to defeat it," the National Award-winning director said in a statement.

Sinha praised Hansal for doing justice to the story of the catastrophic event that shocked the world. "It is a story about a hero who made a brave choice and celebrates the spirit of a young boy who stood tall for his loved ones," the producer added. Kumar revealed the movie had received an overwhelmingly positive response at its world premiere at the London Film Festival. We are excited to finally bring this untold story of a young boy to the world. 'Faraaz' will surely strike a chord in your heart as it celebrates bravery, friendship, and humanity at its core. I am glad to be associated with such an important film," he said.
