It played at the British Film Institute last night, and as this film starts its journey... in the world of movies... I couldn't be more nervous and excited as an actor and a first-time producer... I feel so odd writing that... but I feel really cool..." The film is also co-produced by Ektaa Kapoor.
"So giving you all a glimpse of this gem we made... into the world of Jas Bhamra.I do hope Jas hasn't ended her journey yet, because it's been a dream to continue this wonderful yet strong woman whose grief is beyond measure but stronger than she knows," she concluded.
