My previous film, Azaad, won the best short at the festival in 2017, and it is lovely to go back to the fest with a film as special as Gulmohar.”
Chittella is thrilled with the “love and appreciation pouring in from all corners of the globe” and seeing the film about family and home resonate deeply with audiences worldwide. “We had exciting screenings in New York last month and will be travelling to Stuttgart and Berlin in July and the rest of the world this year,” he shared.
