The story of the movie, according to Anurag Kashyap, “took shape over the years with my interactions with my daughter and the GenZ, and to realise how our set beliefs and conditioning effect them,” he had stated in a press release. to understand that both they and we are natives of the world we live in today. I am pleased that it is beginning with this movie since it feels like a new inning.

Alaya thanked everyone on Instagram following the debut. She posted a clip from the festival’s montage and said, “Even after seeing this video a hundred times, I still find it hard to believe it’s true! Thank you, @marrakechfilmfestival, for having us. With all the great people of Marrakech present, it was such a weird experience to premiere our movie Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohobbat on the large screen in the midst of Jemaa El Fna Square.”
