"It's guerrilla filmmaking at its best. My building friends were my team. We did rehearsals on Zoom. Some actors recorded their scenes at home. Some shot with me at home. I learned to value daily-wage workers in the process of making the film," says Siddhant.

He added: "My film gives the message that suicide is never an option. Even if 10 people see this film and feel even slightly inspired to continue their struggle in life, I think my battle is won. I was doing things that spot boys do, and I was also doing the light man's work when I wasn't in the scene. So, this one film made me realise how important daily wage workers are in our film industry."
