As an actor, it’s rare to find stories that challenge and move you in equal measure — Amreen’s journey did exactly that for me. I’m excited for the world to meet her and grateful that we’re starting this chapter on such a global stage.” The film marks a significant moment in Kulhari’s career, as it is her first leading role to premiere at an international film festival. Reflecting on the experience, she added: “This film means a lot to me because I gave it my blood and sweat. I’m really looking forward to being at the festival and watching it with an audience of global cinema lovers.
