Prasoon Pandey said, “I really enjoy the kind of stories I get to do in Advertising, which is why I haven’t done a feature film yet. So if I have to take a short break from ads after we are done casting, I was clear that it would have to be a story that’s truly intriguing and unlike anything I’ve seen before. So when Atul shared this with me, I knew this was the one. I’ve been unable to get it out of my head. It is a narrative with the potential to push cinematic boundaries. I couldn’t have asked for better collaborators than MovieVerse Studios and Ellipsis Entertainment to embark on this journey.”
