Speaking on the film’s casting, Bartels revealed that her team sought to create a film that people could connect to and that influenced the choice of the cast. They also tried not to typecast the actors by letting them show their individual strengths.
Bartels is interestingly the genius behind the success of box office hits like 'King of Boys', 'The Wedding Party' 1 and 2, 'Chief Daddy' and 'Merry Men'.
'Kambili: The Whole 30 Yards' opens in cinemas June 12, 2020.
