Writer Director Nitin Kumar Gupta on stage said that he felt honored to premiere the film on this stage as it had been his childhood dream to become a soldier. He said that shooting this film had been an extremely tough endeavor for the entire cast and crew and made them realize what our soldiers went through everyday protecting the borders of the country.
Principal Lt Colonel Dipankar Choudhary on stage said that the film made him recall his days when he had served in high altitude regions and had faced extremely hostile conditions on the borders of the country. He said that he understood how difficult it must have been to shoot the film, especially as it was a single shot film shot on location in Kargil.
