With Netflix on board, I have no doubt that this amazing story will be embraced by audiences everywhere”.

It has been such a surreal experience to perform my first with RSVP and GBA, work with such brilliant actors as Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandana, and eventually watch all of this come to life with Netflix. I am eager to witness the audiences’ comments and could not have wished for a finer directing debut” said director Shantanu Bagchi.
