The overwhelming response from audiences has been incredibly gratifying, and we are thrilled that Jhamkudi has struck a chord with so many people. As we prepare for the film’s world digital premiere, I truly hope we feel the same love and excitement from our fans during its OTT run."

Trust me, I would love to bring back our fantastic cast and crew. Filming in that beautiful 500-year-old palace in Gondal created such an eerie atmosphere for the movie. The crew even shared some spine-tingling stories about seeing a ghost in a flowing white outfit, which really added to the supernatural elements of our story."
