Lakadbaggha is a story of an ordinary boy on an extraordinary journey for the love of animals, and being ordinary is my superpower. So I am glad we have made this film and the journey has taken 18 months of my life which will now culminate in New York and Kolkata. And the release in 2023. I am grateful and humbled to premiere our film at KIFF and SAIFF respectively.”
