Among those present were Archana Taide , Shrutika Arjun , Jigyasa Singh, Vikrant Singh Rajpoot, Reva Kaurase, Akshara Singh , Parveen Singhal and Paritosh Tripathi, who extended their support to the team.
Khejdi has already earned recognition at several international film festivals. The film is currently available on the Stage app, owned by Singhal. It is created, written and produced under Aashiesh Archana Creations and directed by Rohit Dwivedi. The project has been showcased at festivals such as the NYC South Asian Film Festival, the Texas South Asian Film Festival and the Mexico International Film Festival, among others, with screenings across multiple countries.
