Sial also spoke highly of working with Vivek Anchalia, noting the director’s unique approach. “Vivek has a special quality about him,” Sial observed. “He retains a childlike innocence that shines through in his work.

His ability to bring complex characters to life is unparalleled.”

As the release date approaches, both Amit Sial and Anchalia are hopeful that the film will resonate with audiences and add a meaningful contribution to the genre of family dramas.
