Since then, there has been total silence.'
Earlier in an interview with Hindustan TImes, actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya, who plays an important part in the film, also shared his concerns about its release. He said, 'The film has turned out well; I don't know why it's not getting released. All of us actors put in a lot of effort in this sports drama, and we wish for it to reach the audience.'
Reportedly, rumours are that the collaboration between Netflix and Clean Slate Filmz faced issues due to creative disagreements and budget constraints, leaving the film's future unclear.

Aaj iske pass ek writer hai, secretary hai, ek friend jaisa vakeel hai, sab faltu (They are all people who just keep praising him blindly. Even I end up fighting with Govinda because I can't lie or flatter people. Right now, he has a writer, a secretary, and someone acting like a close friend—all of them are useless)," she added.
