" I went to Russian cultural center one afternoon and I literally had my head blown away because I saw 'Ship of Theseus' and I remember coming out and waiting as Anand was being mobbed by the whole crowd of the theater. So he was slowly making his way out and I remember waiting out and grabbing hold of him and shaking his hand for 5 minutes because I thought genuinely it was one of the best films I have seen in my life," the filmmaker said.
She insisted that the film has such a great scope and deep impact that she was just completely blown away.
Meanwhile, the debutant director Gandhi said that he has made the film for masses and not just for a certain section of society.
"I would really appreciate if everyone sees the film. When I made the film I never had the idea of making the film for only certain set of audience," he said.
"I really imagined that there is definitely a huge audience out there who like me and my friends have from a very long time having wanted to have this conversation and have this dialogue for a very long time with the culture they are consuming and I made the film just knowing that, that's my audience," the 32-year-old director added.
