When you chose Direction as my path or rather than an actor, my first thought...being an actor in itself was tough how am I ever going to make a film. Release it. Don't have doubts you said. How could I not. Now here we are 4 years later. When I look back at the journey It was a charmed one. Not to say it was not tough but it was blessed one from the begining. A dream team, goverment support, Amazing producer, international release, awards and now an all India Release. Like clockwork everything fell into place at the right time. The magical part of being with you is you give before us asking, before us wanting, even before us knowing. You know. Not just me. There are millions who will say the same. I am one of those million. Thank you Guruji. @srisriravishankar @madhumalati @priyankachopra #guru #grace #gratitude #artofliving

"Sometime it's easier to just give up. Hope is what we all need. Like one of the characters in the film says, 'It's never all dark, there is always light.'

"Pahuna is full of hope. That is the reason it resonated with audiences young and old across the globe and now it's releasing in the country it was made and meant for," the director said in a statement.

Madhu added the film is special as it addresses the far-reaching consequences for children when adults make harsh decisions.

"This story is relevant globally in its appeal," she added.

Last month, 'Pahuna' was adjudged Best Film (Jury Choice) and Special Mention by Professional Jury in The International Feature Film Category at SCHLINGEL International Children's Film Festival in Germany.

Co-produced by Children's Film Society, India (CFSI), the film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) last year.
