Dedicating it to her mother, she urged the public to enjoy the movie and pass it on to others, while adding that it is important for practitioners to unite and work as one.

She said: “This story is so passionate. It is dedicated to my mum, who passed away in February. I didn’t know my mum was going to pass on, but I wrote the story, but she is gone now, thank God. I want you all to enjoy the movie and pass it on.”
