It's an honor to be associated with such an incredible global franchise and be able to tell such a rooted Indian story as part of it. This project has been a labor of love for all of us at so many levels and to see it garner all this appreciation is so gratifying. Honey was such a nuanced character and exploring such diverse aspects of her personality as a performer was just amazing. Between that and the intense action and stunt sequences we pulled off, I feel it's been an unforgettable experience- one I'll hold dear for my future projects as well"
