"It's an honour for Harish and me that a story we so steadfastly believe in, is winning love and finding a new audience. We are excitedly looking forward to showing the film to a whole new set of people and awaiting their feedback on our little passion project," said Anshuman.
"After Winning 'Best Film' at SAIFF (South Asian International Film Festival) at its World Premiere in New York, I am elated that Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele is the closing film at Kashish, Asia's biggest LGBTQ+ festival. The fact that the jury felt it worthy of the closing film honour from 150-plus films is what makes us happy," he added.
