They are a bunch of creative professionals making their debut together with this film, and through their story, they are all trying to give a message to the youth — if you can dream it, you can achieve it, explains the director Manish Manikpuri. Besides inspiring the youth, the aim of the movie is also to help heal minds in the Naxal-infested area of Chattisgarh, where the film is based.
Thus, the flick is not just another entertainer but a combination of entertainment, enlightenment and education.
As far as debuts go, the film is a first for producers-educationists Nishant Tripathi and Abhishek Mishra; for Manikpuri, and actors Amit Purohit, Abid Shameem, Ruhi Chaturvedi and Harsh Rajput. It is also the first for cinematographer Sunita Radia and editor Vicky Tiwari. And even though Agnee is a renowned band, they also make their debut as full-fledged composers with this film.
Adds Manikpuri, “Veteran actors like Vijay Raaz, Raghubir Yadav. Omkar Das Manikpuri, Abhimanyu Singh and
Murali Sharma have stood by these youngsters with a fiery spirit and helped us take our product to the next level by making the film what it is.”
