Last year, Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai received so much love on its digital première that it was soon released theatrically. This time around, director Apoorv Singh Karki has taken the big-screen route with Bhaiyya Ji, an action film led by Manoj Bajpayee. Despite the switch, the director insists that the size of a screen hardly matters. “I started my career with Aspirants, which the whole world saw on YouTube. A good story reaches its people,” he shares.
