“I chose this concept because it’s different, it’s brilliant, and this story is different from what you have been seeing in the industry. Working on this project was fun and to be honest, it was a bitter-sweet experience because despite being a first time producer, I chose to work with A-list actors. It takes a brave mind to do that. Trying to get the actors together, finding good locations and being disturbed by thugs were some of the challenges I faced. I saw every actor on this project in the characters of this story; I didn’t just choose them because I wanted to use them but rather because of the story line and they interpreted it perfectly,” she said.
‘The Millions’ which has been tagged the biggest heist film of the century tells the story of some con artists coming together to work on stealing a huge sum of money and the failure of the operation put their lives on the line. The mission led to betrayal, friendship and finding true love.
