Kanika Dhillon shared her thoughts on the film’s success, emphasizing her commitment to accessibility and audience engagement. “I’ll do whatever it takes to get my film across to them so that they watch it and then see the message in it. The way it’s written and the choices that we made for the film in terms of the screenplay, the casting and the marketing are to have an audience-first approach. What I’ve been hearing is that the audience really appreciated the film. With the numbers, it is clear that the audiences are emotionally connecting to the film,” Dhillon stated. Her strategy to prioritize the viewer’s experience in every aspect of the movie’s production and promotion has evidently paid off, as evidenced by the film’s popularity.
