‘Candy Flip’ starring Kalki Koechlin and Gulshan Devaiah was premiered on Netflix yesterday. The film directed by Shahnawaz NK is based in Goa and talks about the drug menace that has plagued the state and various other parts of the country.
Speaking about the film, Kalki says, “The youth is increasingly getting into the habit of taking drugs. Hiding this issue is the wrong way to deal with it. Youngsters need to know what kinds of drugs are out there and what happens when you take them. Education about this abuse is important.”
Produced by Surendra K Hegde and Balasubramanyam TC under their banner 23 Entertainment, also stars Prashant Prakash, Prakash Raj and Valeriya Polyanychko in pivotal roles. “We are happy that the film is taken by Netflix. A platform like this will help the film reach out to a wider audience. We had made the film keeping the cause in mind and if the film helps to promote the cause of drug abuse, we are more than happy,” producer Surendra K Hegde said.
