Chaudhary said in a statement: “Massive networks profit from the desperation of students and parents to succeed in a country where university seats and job opportunities alike are limited.
“The government has been focusing on building new institutes, setting up rigorous systems of entry points in job market, but in reality a breed of facilitators is being created who manage to circumvent procedures and check points ingenuously. These masterminds are reckless and work in collusion with the system. ‘Setters’ is about these masterminds.”
Aftab and Shreyas are proud to be associated with a film which may lead to social awakening.
