I am grateful to the love and faith the audience has bestowed upon us to narrate inspiring stories that transcend boundaries and make a place in the hearts of the audience.”

“It has been a dream run for me right from the inception.

The accolades and appreciation are the fruit of the blood and sweat put in by the entire team, I am grateful to have received such support and platforms for my debut project,” Mridul Toolsidass said.
