Bhuto’s character is played by Ritwick. This is my second film with him after Good Night City and the way he has performed in this film is marvelous. Bhuto comes from the low middle-income group urban population, who regularly sits on hunger strikes protesting against the international incidents of violence happening in Syria, France, Pakistan, USA and Nigeria. He gets used to tolerating hunger for days as the occurrences of violence are so frequent across the globe in our times. Then Bhuto meets his business friend Ghona (played by Biswanath) and the story takes a turn.”
