Kongara mentioned that the toughest part of making a film in different languages is to ensure that the essence of the story "remains intact".

The filmmaker added, "Directing the same film in two languages is both a joy and a challenge. The joy comes from being able to present the story to diverse audiences and witnessing how different cultural nuances can bring new dimensions to the narrative. Working with different actors on reinterpretations of the film brings fresh perspectives, personalities and nuances to the characters, which can be equally enriching and refreshing.”
