Producer's Note- Ravinder Dhaka
I had seen a film made by the director in Europe. After watching the film I contacted the director. The project was at pre production stage and he didn't have enough funds to complete it. I couldn't control myself after going through the story and went to Kurdistan (-5 Degrees) from Mumbai (30 Degrees) to support the project and stayed there for one month until it was finished.
