Nikkhil said for him it was important to highlight stories of Indians based in abroad. The filmmaker has produced 2016's Airlift, based on the evacuation of Indians based in Kuwait during the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's Iraq. “There are so many stories like this that are hard to believe. Even when I made Airlift, I found it very hard to believe that 170,000 Indians were left stranded there. Here, too, it's such an unbelievable story. Many such unknown stories happen with Indians abroad, and they need to be highlighted," the producer said.
