And the same space of challenges that any young filmmaker across the world faces. With the support of Storytellers, the production house I’m represented by, and a bunch of young guys like me who wanted to make this film happen at any cost, we pulled it together. I mean truthfully, having an idea is one thing but executing it is another. If it were not for Storytellers who backed me and believed in my idea, it would not have happened. We saw it through together'
