Director Haider Khan says, “this will be in world cinema, its first-feature film on worlds biggest, Rohingya Genocide based on their plight, never showcased before & it will throw light and will tell us about the unsung SPECIAL FORCES INDIAN paras which are known as the maroon Berets of our Nation. The film is shot on complete natural light and we actually didn’t have hair and makeup and degalmourised, I wanted to bring the realism and the feel of the pain gone through them, My actors were extremely supportive as in real life they are super Models and always entwined in glamour laughs Haider.”
