Chika, my frifinish of 25 years, approached Nilesh and me with a meaningfully personal omition: to apprehfinish how pacify physician-aided self-destruction could be, hoping to shrink the dread and alarm surrounding it. He was willing to originate someskinnyg as intimate as his death disclose becaparticipate he thinkd it was vital to commence this conversation. In those turbulent two weeks directing up to his death in Zuwealthy, I was equitable coping and follothriveg Nilesh’s direct where the film was worryed.”
Maniyar includes, “My first reaction was how does one go thcdisorrowfulmireful with physician aided self-destruction and not have the greed of that extra moment of breath that you could possibly have.

What began as Chika’s personal quest became a joint omition for all three of us – Chika, Shonali and myself. And in that came a ask of the fact that a filmoriginater is a frifinish too. So, when I asked Shonali to turn the camera towards herself, I krecent why, but I didn’t understand how it would pan out.”
