Vidhu Vinod Chopra said, 바카라œManoj Sharma (on whom the film is based) came to me with the book (바카라˜12th Fail바카라™) and requested me for a blurb in the book. I saw book ke peeche Raju Hirani and Sachin Tendulkar ne taarif ki hai. I called Raju, he was like this book is a film! I asked, 바카라˜Will you direct it?바카라™ But he was busy with something. Then I started writing and I fell in love with the script. It was Raju who suggested Vikrant's name. I had seen his film 바카라˜A Death in the Gunj바카라™ and I liked him. Vikrant inspired me to direct this film.바카라

The director also spoke about the thought with which he directed this film. He said, 바카라œWhen we were releasing this film, I was told ki yeh film OTT pe release kar do. Even my wife said that koi theatre mein nahi jayega yeh film dekhne. Still, I believed in the film. It had a small opening (at the box office), but that바카라™s okay. Look where we are today.바카라

바카라˜12th Fail바카라™ did not work well at the box office when it was released in October last year. However, when it started streaming on OTT in December, it was widely recognized.
