About the Production:
“My main motivation has been from the time I visited Rajasthan and saw and heard the real stories there, they moved me to an extent that when I was back in Mumbai, I knew this is the movie I want to make come what may. And that is how I got started with this project. There are some stories that just don’t leave you and this is one of them. If art can bring in a social change, I hope this one does it.” — Himanshu Vora
