A tribute to the man who gave the film its heart
Sharing a nostalgic photograph with the director on Instagram, Abraham reflected on the unique essence of the movie. He noted that their goal was to create more than just a standard action flick; they aimed for a cinematic experience where the emotional stakes were just as impactful as the physical combat.
"Force wouldn’t have happened without Nishi. He pushed me, believed in me and gave the film its heart. I only wish he was here to see where this journey has reached. Miss you Nishi. Hope we make you proud,"
The actor's tribute serves as a poignant reminder of the director's legacy. Nishikant Kamat passed away on August 17, 2020, following a two-year battle with liver cirrhosis.
