Embarking on this cinematic journey as the director of “Modi” has been an incredibly fulfilling and transformative experience. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the entire cast, crew and producers for their continued commitment and creativity. To Al, who asked me to do the film: How could I refuse Pacino anything? -, my sincere gratitude for generously contributing his talent and dedication to this project.
