It’s a very young love story with a relatable narrative set in the age of social media, and I truly believe audiences will connect with it.”
“We both instinctively felt that Mouni Roy was the ideal choice. She is mesmerizing, elegant, and a wonderfully talented performer. She immediately said yes, and with Mouni coming on board, the film has acquired an entirely new dimension.”
