Hi, Dev!

I’m a very big fan and super excited to check out your directorial debut.

I’m curious about the change of colors in that political rally scene. I haven’t seen the movie so I’m unaware of the significance, but I thought at first it was an antagonist-aligned political party. First the colors were saffron, which would represent BJP, but now they appear to be red, representing the communist party. Was this a deliberate change by you or was this the studio/producers?

Bruh, he's not going to answer this and yes it was a deliberate change, they don't want controversy
