Says Chua who’s producing for Imagine Entertainment, “I used to be deeply moved by Manu Chopra’s story when it was first introduced to me through Rick and Bhhaskar. I’m thrilled to collaborate with the talented Richie Mehta and first-time director Parinaz Jal, to bring this powerful script to life”.

We’re very enthusiastic about our collaboration with Janice, Richie, Pari and Harman in bringing this project to life.”
Richie Mehta says, ” When Janice Chua approached me about this story, I used to be immediately taken by the simplicity, potency, and great thing about it, and felt that as a collaboration between Imagine, Bhhaskar, Rick, Parinaz, Harman and myself, we could make something magical. I couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure and produce this powerful tale to life.”

Working alongside such a talented team, including Richie Mehta, Janice Chua, Rick Ambros, and Bhhaskar De, is a privilege. The story of Mohan resonated with me, and I knew it was something we needed to bring to life. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this beautiful journey of religion and humanity.”
