He launched the film's poster in Ayodhya. "The idea behind launching it in the birthplace of Lord Rama was to send out the message that humanity rules supreme, and that Hindus and Muslims should live in harmony." Kazmi bagged the Best Actor award at Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival for the Rakesh Parmar-directed film. The drama releases this year.
