“We haven’t made this film for the box office. These are new directors, fresh talent, and we are also new-age actors, so the idea was to create some new cinema, new thoughts, and new films. In fact, most of the films in Shorts have got awards, I have got an award, Shlok has (also won an award),” the 26-year-old said at the first look launch of the film, recently.

“So there is international acclaim and the film has been made for that. That’s why the film is being released only in select theatres,” she added.

The five short films are titled Sujata, Epilogue, Audacity, Mehfuz and Shor. Huma further said that the idea behind Shorts is to “create a new breed of actors and directors who have an interesting way of looking at things.”

The film is expected to releasing on July 12.
