  • He said Javed Akhtar advised him to use a good sense of humour as a “shock absorber” for handling criticism and self-doubt.
  • The newly released trailer leans into the term “tingu” to highlight the film’s themes of acceptance and personal growth.
  • Directed by R.S. Prasanna, the sports drama adapts the Spanish film 'Champions' and stars Genelia Deshmukh alongside debut actors with special needs.
