He proceeded to add, “You will notice that right since my debut film (Vicky Donor), with my choice of films, I have tried to do my bit to have a constructive conversation with society about the need for change.”

“I have strongly felt that through cinema, we could tell society to widen it’s gaze towards modern subjects that were not being addressed.”

“We were a shy country, we still are, and there is beauty to that, but what I’m most happy about is how the people of my country have appreciated my style of cinema,” he went on to say.
