Elated about adding another feather to her cap, Sukanya shared, "To have our film premiere in Berlin, especially at Berlinale, was overwhelming in the most beautiful way. I was so glad that I later realized this was my debut film. Sitting there with the team, watching months of hard work unfold on screen in front of an international audience, was emotional, humbling, and powerful all at once. It felt unreal."
She went on to add that there is something magical about hearing the first reactions in a theater like that.
"It makes every struggle worth it," said Sukanya.
Made under the direction of Rima Das, “Not a Hero” explores the lives of young people trying to find their place in the world.
