Republic World spoke to Anish Shah, the director of Dhunki, about the celebration of one year of his film. "Dhunki has been seen more on OTT and in the lockdown period, we have received an overwhelming response from the viewers. It has been seen by the audience across India and countries like Spain too from where people have written to us. Celebrating the success of the film makes more sense right now as after a year it is reaching its right audience and being appreciated."

Speaking about how he came about the concept of Dhunki, Anish said, "We started writing the film as a Mumblecore film back in 2016. It was more about conversations between two friends coming together. The basic idea was the friends coming to whether to start a new business which affects their personal lives. Eventually the idea of start-up and particularly one driven by technology and food came in. That's how from a conversational one it became a plot-driven film." Anish shared his future plans and said that he is working on Gujarati feature film "with Pratik Gandhi again which we plan to shoot early next year. I also produced a Hindi Film titled POWAI last year which we will be sending to festivals soon."
