Producer Shashwat Joshi from Jack N Jill Pictures feels proud to be associated with this film. “Saumitra is a talented director. We often come across young makers who are not sure about the visuals. They might end up writing good stories, but eventually, they make a mess when it comes to the execution of the plot. But while working with Saumitra I realized that he is a hands-on maker,” added Joshi.

Producer Ram Kamal Mukherjee, on behalf of Assorted Motion Pictures, says, “I have seen Saumitra’s earlier work and he is an extremely talented director. When he narrated the story, I was impressed with the simplicity. I like people who can express their thoughts in a certain frame of time. Being a director myself, I find that quality extremely rare in today’s time. I thank my friend Yash Jain who introduced me to Saumitra and his body of work. I am glad that we are gearing up to showcase this film exclusively on BiiggBang.”
