Offering an amalgamation of emotions, drama and comedy, the trailer has piqued the interests of the audience creating anticipation for the release.

Over the course of time, Windows Production has earned the title of one of the most acclaimed production houses, known for presenting striking content that not only creates an impact but also offers wholesome entertainment. Though surrogacy has been prevailing in the industry for quite a while, the representation in movies as well as the stigma in society has continued to exist. Through the film, we hope to rise above the reservations around the subject but most importantly entertain the audience.”

Drafted and shot amidst the pandemic, screenplay writer Zinia Sen wrote the film in the 2020, while it was shot in 2021. It is based on the real story of a single father in Kolkata.
