Jindal said: "I am of the belief that format, runtime are irrelevant and the power of a story is what eventually shines in a film. I love the short films I have made because they had to be punchy and potent at the same time. I am so grateful to Neha for trusting my vision. We had a ball of a time working together." Vikalp starring Neha Sharma and Anshul Chauhan in lead roles, released on Large Short Films.
