I'm looking forward to the audience watching the film."

Jitendra Kumar from TVF to a ZEE5 thriller? That's quite a shift. Hope the story is as good as the cast. Atul Kasbekar's production usually has a certain quality. Fingers crossed it's not just another predictable OTT thriller.

Interesting to see a film written and directed by Priya Aven. We need more women directors telling these kinds of stories. The psychological thriller genre in India is getting better. Hope this one delivers on the 'haunting' promise.

The supporting cast is solid! Kavin Dave and Harish Kulkarni are such underrated actors. They always add depth. Hope the film gives them good material to work with and not just side roles.

"Stays with you long after it ends" – that's a big claim from the producer. Hope it's not just marketing talk. We've had so many thrillers lately that are forgotten the next day. Need something with real substance.

Priya Bapat is a brilliant choice. She has such a strong screen presence. The combination of her and Jeetu bhaiya is very fresh. Excited to see what 'Dalimb' (which means pomegranate, right?) has in store for us. All the best to the team!
