I’m so thankful that he trusted me with his life story,” added Singh and teased, “We have covered everything in this film- love, pain, family, success, failure, loss, mental health, and the fight to come back.”
“This docu feature highlights his evolution, his lasting impact on popular culture, and a lot of stories that no one has ever heard before. We’re thrilled for you to meet the legend, the man who is responsible for creating a revolution in the Indian rap and hip-hop scene, a man entirely unique in his making,” he furthered.
