This quiet ode to love, longing and loneliness will always hold pride of place in my filmography. For the performances of @bajpayee.manoj and @rajkummar_rao, for the writing and edit by @apurva_asrani, cinematography by @satyarainagpaul, production design by @neilofer, sound by @mandarjkulkarni, casting by @castingchhabra, music by @karan.kulkarni and story/research by @ancientfeline. Pillars of strength @jaihmehta, @shaaileshrsingh and @erosnow who stood by the film through thick and thin to protect it from the hands of greedy predators. Champions for the film from film festivals including @mumbaifilmfestival and it’s fine people @anupama.chopra #KiranRao and @smritikiran. Overwhelming love from the LGBTQ community and of course the blessings of Lata Mangeshkar’s divine voice set to the great Madan Mohan’s tunes.”
