"Shah Rukh sir, Deepika ma’am, Nayanthara ma’am and everyone involved worked with their heart to make the film wonderful. Please do watch and let us know your comments on this," Atlee said in his message.
Sushil Chaudhary, Founder, PictureTime Digiplex, shares, “The intention of the team with the second edition of The Himalayan Film Festival was to offer viewers an immersive movie experience. We were happy to associate with team Anupama Chopra to plan something unique and different. This was the biggest, grandest film festival of any Himalayan destination which offered four days of an immersive film viewing experience. It was a challenge, but we knew we had to deliver an unforgettable experience to the audience and I'm thrilled that we could do exactly that.”
Apart from films, it also saw insightful masterclasses with filmmakers like Vikramaditya Motwane, Amit Sharma and Kenny Basumatary, who was also seen acting alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan.
