HERE’S WHAT THE ACTOR & DIRECTOR SAID
Whether it is through CCTV surveillance or the collection of personal data, the movie highlights the harsh reality that privacy has become a luxury few can afford. Kanwal states, "The film depicts the compelling truth of access to information. An individual's privacy has truly become a luxury in today's world."
