Said Vikas Pawar, “Through our narrative, we wanted to draw attention to the threats facing the natural world, from climate change and pollution to habitat destruction and biodiversity loss.”

Sriram Reddy added, “Our message through this movie is the conservation of nature and I am incredibly honoured to be nominated by the jury.”
