Nasir Sheikh, on whom the film is based, shared his heartfelt reaction with the film’s director, Reema Kagti. He expressed that she had not only honoured his life and friends, some of whom are no longer here, but also captured the essence of Malegaon itself. He recalled his film being screened at international film festivals, adding, “At TIFF, 2,000 people came to watch the film, and the response was overwhelming. I was deeply moved and even cried while watching it. That’s when I truly understood what a standing ovation means. I feel so happy and proud that someone from a small village has been brought to the world stage by these amazing people” The film is set to release in theaters on February 28 across India, the US, UK, UAE, Australia, and New Zealand. It is written by Varun Grover, and stars Adarsh Gourav, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Shashank Arora in lead roles.
