The movie was recently featured at the IFFI Film Festival, Goa and was appreciated by everyone. Majidi revealed that he didn’t want to work with Bollywood superstars because wanted to shoot in different locations in Mumbai and he couldn’t handle the crowd at the set. “Even for one audition, it was very difficult with Deepika as there were a large crowd and even more curiosity”, he said. He also said that Deepika showed interest in the project at the beginning and because of that the news of her being the part of this film came out in the first place. He added, “she is a great professional and I saw that when I asked her for the look test, but when I saw her fan following, it was difficult for me to handle that crowd”. He also said that Malavika, who is playing the female lead in his movie, is awesome and she has done a great job in this movie. This will be both Malavika and Ishaan’s first Hindi film, and what a way to start their career with Majid Majidi, Malavika has done some South Indian films and is a known face there but this is Ishaan very first film, he will next be seen in Shashank Khaitan’s ‘Dhadak’, with Sridevi’s daughter Jhanvi Kapoor.
