Shemaroo Entertainment director Hiren Gada says, “Anuranan has set a benchmark today among Bengali film-makers. It has certainly touched the hearts of the Bengali masses and is still fresh and lingering in the minds of people. It is based on the fantastic reviews the film got that we decided to go ahead with Anuranan’s Hindi version. Moreover, Anuranan’s plot and cast are such that our Hindi audiences will certainly be able to connect to the same.”

It feels great to know that the film did well and has been appreciated by audiences.
