I love this world, and there was a freshness to Prem Keetanu that pulled me in from the start and I've had a great time exploring this world and these characters. There is a certain madness, innocence and warmth to these boys that I hope comes through in the film. I'm really looking forward to audiences experiencing it on the big screen, and I hope they give Prem Keetanu as much love as we've had making it," said Apoorv, as quoted in a press note.
