We didn’t want to do a rush job or get ahead of ourselves. We want to deliver the finale in the most grand way that it deserves.”

Because, you know, while we say that, we also have two different versions of the same film, with two different runtimes on part one itself.”

He concluded, “So, depending on which way the next round of feedback goes, I’d love to not have to make two different versions. I’m sure Nitesh would also like to stick to one version.”
