Talking about the film, Sharad says, “Déjà Vu is a very interesting storyline that connects in today’s life. It’s a very trippy psychological thriller. I saw the first cut and it didn’t feel like my 90 minutes had gone. It’s quite gripping with fantastic camera work and background score. I have a lot of faith in that film.”
Ask Sharad if the makers will wait for a theatrical release or take the OTT route for the film, and he says, “With the scenario that is today, we all know that once theatres reopen at full capacity, all big films will release. So, I don’t want my film to get lost or suppressed in that. It’s better to either wait for the right time or go for an OTT release.”
