She also spoke about how the coronavirus pandemic and the following lockdowns slowed down the film further.

The star wife also divulged about how things were ‘limited’ because of the fact that women were leading the film. “There have been a few pushbacks and cutbacks and, I won't deny, that it's very difficult to make a female-led film.
