Firstly, it’s extremely sad that people question when will Kaanchli release when it actually released all over India in February.” She said she has faced extreme disappointment over the years when she reached out to big banners and also casting directors, who treated her like an outsider.
She continued that when she tells people that her film has already released, she feels like an outsider as it didn’t reach the level where people could know about it. She further added that nobody is ready to watch and take her film and now suddenly the OTT platforms have also decided that they cannot take her such films. Generally, a major film gets over 3000-4000 theatres but her film got only 75 theatres all over India.
