At the launch event, Rishab Shetty, who acted, wrote, and directed the film, shared his personal reflections. He revealed the emotional and creative effort he invested in completing both films over five years. “I am tired and finding it difficult to gather words to describe this journey.

Usually, I am composed and mentally strong,” he said. With his usual humor, he added, “I am somebody who doesn’t burden myself by worrying about my movie’s result.” His dedication makes the prequel one of the most awaited releases this year.
