When I was in my second year of college toh uss samay yeh kahani tha dimaag mein – mann mein . When I became a filmmaker, ek screenplay jaisa construct kiya. Shoot karne se pehle humara plan tha ki prequel ja raha hai. So, baad mein, darshako ne itna bada support diya hai. Humare gaon mein bada set lagaya hai abhi. Next mahine hum log shoot jaa rahe hai”
(I started my acting career from here, which I performed when I was in the 6th standard. Our village’s story and folklore should be brought to the big screen. When I was in my second year of college, this story was in my mind. When I became a filmmaker, I constructed a screenplay properly. Before shooting, we planned that a prequel is going to happen. We also got a huge support from the audience. We have set up a big set in our village now. We will be shooting there next month).
