And he said ‘I have seen your work’. He had seen Hunterrr. That's how he called me and I think that also happened like that. And I think it was a very, very important subject - something which should be spoken about. So, I thought ‘I have to be a part of this entire, mammoth (journey) whatever was happening’.
