The film explains closely on what happens to them, both are parallel stories”. The director also said that the movie is an “intimate portrayal or closely examined portrayal of love”.
When asked if a movie needs the tag of a superstar for a commercial success, the director replied in negative. He said, “there are many films of superstars which were flops. When you have a superstar movie, the proportionate increase in the budget in the price…but makes it not viable, if the movie is a failure”.
