Talking about the film, Pankaj Tripathi shares, “‘Kaagaz’ is a brilliantly written true story. It is a quirky, black comedy & depicts the common man’s humorous journey on identity crisis. My character will be quite different from some of my recent ventures and I am excited to be a part of such an inspiring story. This story needs to be heard and I am definite that ZEE5 will give it the reach that it deserves.”
Director and actor Satish Kaushik shares, “I remember reading about the story of Lal Bihari Mritak in the news for the first time, I was intrigued and inspired with his journey, so I did a lot of research on the events that took place in his life Eventually, it felt to me like this story deserved to be told to the world and we could have not asked for a better production partner Salman Khan Films & than ZEE5 to showcase it. Now, it’s just a click away for the audiences. Block your date for 7th January 2021.”
Producer Nishant Kaushik adds, “I am privileged to debut as a film producer with heavyweights like Salman Khan Films, Satish Kaushik, Pankaj Tripathi and thank ZEE5 for showcasing it.”
