Arjan Bajwa is happy. Even though his 'Tell Me O Kkhuda' has arrived alongside a biggie like 'Ra. One', the young man is unperturbed as he is relieved with the fact that the film is eventually seeing the light of the day. Though the film was supposed to be released at least a year ago, the change in director around the film's completion mark resulted in the subsequent delay. However now as the film is all set to release this Diwali, Arjuan feels that more than anything else, this Hema Malini film has at least managed to dilute the perception around 'Tell Me O Kkhuda' being a 'small film'.

"You know what, I won't take names of people but then there were these industry bigwigs who advised me against doing 'Tell Me O Kkhuda'. They wondered whether I was making the right move of picking up this film. There were comments coming my way like 'yeh film aaye ya jaaye kisiko faraq nahi padhega'. And mind you, all of this was being said when not even a single frame of the film had been shot," sighs Arjan, "It was disturbing for sure because here we were a bunch of people all excited, convinced and motivated to do the film while detractors were just pulling it down for no rhyme or reason."

Now that the film has released, Arjan doesn't mind acknowledging the contribution made by Mayur Puri, the original director of the film. "He is a good director and had shot 80% of the film. Now Hemaji has shot a few new scenes and also re-edited the film since she felt that some points made by Mayur went a little off track. I wish Mayur well for his future projects. He has this big canvas bent of mind and I am sure he will do well."
