But amongst all this, there's burning in the empty chest." She added, "Another question -- what happened on September 19? How, why?

How the film was special to Garg
Bhuyan revealed to ETV Bharat that Garg was actively involved in the film's promotion before his untimely demise. He shared, "On September 15, before his departure, Zubeen and I discussed the plans for Roi Roi Binale." "He wanted to promote this film differently."
