Isha Koppikar On Joining Project
For Isha, it was an emotional decision to join the project. In a statement, she shared, 'When I was approached by the students, I was more than happy and willing to help them out with the project. These students have immense potential and that became very evident when they narrated the story and the script to me. I relate to these kids because they are starting from scratch, just like I did. I had no Godfather in the industry. So to see them build their dreams from the beginning is more than motivating and fulfilling for me."
