As an NRI, I'm really excited for this. So many films get the diaspora experience wrong—either too stereotypical or too bleak. Hope this one captures the real, complex emotions of building a life between two cultures.

April 2026 is so far away! 😅 But good to see our talent getting these global collaborations. Azure Entertainment has a good track record. Hope the story does justice to the "extraordinary true story" it's based on.

Respectfully, I hope they don't make it another sob story about sacrificing everything for the West. The American Dream narrative is outdated. I'd like to see a story about finding success and identity on your own terms, wherever you are.

Interesting collaboration. "Transcends borders" is a nice sentiment, but the real test is in the execution. Hope the Hollywood side doesn't water down the authentic Indian perspective for a wider audience.
