Shedding more light on his film the enthusiastic producer Sachit Jain discloses, "The story was narrated by my father Sanjay Jain. It revolved around family sentiments and values. It had a strong message and I felt that film medium is the best form to entertain and educate the people accordingly. Thus, Forever Big Entertainment was formed with Shalendra Saroha as the associate producer. The main aim of the production house is to make clean entertainment and also provide a platform to new talents. The filming of ‘Dhoop Chhaon' was held in the picturesque locales of Gurgaon and that too during the lockdown following all the SOPs. It was an amazing experience working with the entire team of notable actors and the technician. The film is now in its post-production stages and is scheduled to release in March; especially during the holi festival. Director Hemant Sharan who is awaiting the release of his debut film Muktibodh has done a wonderful job."
