I know we’ve been making you wait, and your trend really is something else...but trust me, Rahul is really working on it to give you the best output, and it’s one of the most special kinds of films. It's a film where we speak about things we generally don’t talk much about. It’s a pure character-driven film, and that’s the beauty of it. We promise you we want to give you the best, and it’ll be worth your while. But because of today... for all the love you’ve shown us, we’ll just speed up the process and deliver it to you soon!"
