"Chintu Ka Birthday" has been ready for a while, and has already been screened in 18 cities as part of a film festival in 2019.

" 'Chintu Ka Birthday' is the most important film of my career, as well as my association with the new immensely talented director-duo of Satyanshu and Devanshu Singh. They've written an amazingly crafty and sensitive film with gentle humour and huge hearts. It's surprising to learn that it's their first full length feature film," said Vinay Pathak.

Recently, Zee5 released another small film, the Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer "Ghoomketu", which had been lying ready to release for a few years now.
