This film will be an entertainer rooted in realism and humour. It’s great to have Natty sir playing the protagonist. Just a few minutes into the narration, he instantly agreed to do this film, which gave me immense satisfaction. At the same time, it brought upon me a sense of responsibility to ensure we make the film as narrated. We have begun the shoot and are working towards wrapping it at the earliest.”
