The film is based on a true story and has just one character throughout.

Pihu was officially selected for prestigious international film festivals which include Vancouver, Palmsprings, Iran, Morocco and Germany. The film was also the opening film at the International Film Festival of India, Goa, in 2017.

Kapur said in a statement, “It’s always thrilling to come across directors who want to tell stories that disrupt the status quo using bold new narrative styles.”

Calling it a “unique film”, Screwvala said, “Pihu is a unique film. Thrillingly Real. Imagine 90 minutes of a spellbinding experience, can easily be a True Story and yet it tugs at your heart at all times.”

Kapri, who had earlier helmed Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho, said, “I am still pinching myself that I could complete this film Pihu. It was almost an impossible film.”

“In the beginning, my dear friend Late Kirshan Kumar trusted my dream and Pihu was born. Later, the way Sid and Ronnie adopted Pihu, it’s no lesser than a fairy tale for me. I’m glad that it is now safe and in the hands of those who understand cinema in its true sense.”
