“In the movie, I have tried to address a wide range of social issues as the film focusses on issues like unemployment, witch-hunting, the effect of bandhs on people’s lives, and hyper-local politics,” he added.

In a small function, the poster of the movie was also released and the actors interacted with the journalists and movie lovers present on the occasion.
