Special thanks to Punit sir without his absolute faith in all of us, we would not have been here
I will be back as soon as possible, till then I'll be with you in spirit and soul.
I reserve my special thanks to very important pillar Shariq and Team Zee Studios who have been at it to ensure the film reaches everywhere.
Guys we worked so hard for 2 years to realise this dream and to make Manikarnika the blockbuster it deserves to be made as.
I hope we all get to enjoy the success of our collective dream, honesty and hard work. Jai Hind!"
