Speaking to AAB, Smarath said,

Nothing can be better than this feeling for the individual like me who shot his first short film on smartphone & now directing a celebrated director & actor like Rishab Shetty. The journey began when I was in KLE CBALC Belagavi, explored my interest in films & pursued it as my profession.

Antagoni ShettySamarth adds, Before I was in Hubli, saw a lot of failures in personal & profession life but when I stepped in Belagavi, things changed gradually. Credits go to my parents for giving me multiple chances. Went to Mumbai to pursue my dream, completed my masters in whistling woods & that was a stepping stone for me. Worked for reputed film production company but always wanted to make own film. During this period, I met my old school junior Sripad Joshi, who was also working in a reputed production company in Mumbai. We teamed up, started our own venture of commissioning content to the production company. We were lucky to sign our first project with Rishab Shetty for his next direction Hindi project & also we are at the final stage of the script.
