This shows his humble nature and respect towards art and artistes. He is a real superstar and I am really blessed to have had the chance of working with him for my debut movie."

Target Audience

"My main target is the audience. I want to make sure that everyone who watches Mufti will remember each and every scene from the movie."

A Good Team

"So, my first priority was to build a good team and, with the support of my lead actors and producer, I got wonderful team. All the hard work that was put in by the team will be seen on the screens this Friday," he summed it up.

How Did Mufti Fall Into Place?
