In his growing-up years, Vivek Anchalia used to be bothered about the personal sacrifices made by migrant workers to earn a living in a city. Years later, it became the theme of his maiden feature film, Tikdam. “My friend Animesh Verma had narrated this idea to me. The theme spoke to me because even as a kid, I struggled to come to terms with the fact that so many people around us get to see their kids once a year. They haven’t come to the city to follow their dreams; they’ve come out of necessity,” shares the director.
