“It is a huge honour to receive The IndieFEST Film Award with my debut movie. It was a dream yesterday, reality today that our effort of highlighting some of the world’s major issues through entertainment to educate the general public has taken off well with such an amazing recognition. I have personally been involved in every aspect of the pre and post production journeys including screen play, theme song lyrics, acting, editing among all others. As a Civil Engineer, time spent on this vision was during my train journeys to and from work and late nights at home. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have received this award.”
