Commenting on their selection at Busan, Director Nilesh Maniyar, in a note shared by the film’s team, mentioned that they aimed to narrate the story through the friendship between Chika and Shonali. “Chika was a friend who gave more than he took. And what a life-altering impression he left on me in his last days. Hence it was only apt to tell his story via a lens of friendship that Chika and Shonali shared for 25 long years. With the premiere at Busan, we hope to further the conversation about the right to dignity in death, as in life,” he said.

Shonali Bose also shared her excitement about the premiere, stating, “Fulfilling Chika’s dying wish and shooting this film has been the hardest challenge of my filmmaking career. This film is my love letter to Chika and life. I am honoured to premiere it at Busan, a festival that values such deeply personal stories.”

The 29th Busan International Film Festival will take place from October 4 to October 13, 2024.
