Furthermore, the producer, Anu Malhotra, fell from a frying pan to fire when people did not wish to go against their faith and shoot at the time of prophecy. It was a tough task but the determination of the producer and his co- mate, Thakur made it an easy go. They convinced people – people who thought that showing gurs on television was an insult of the deities and whosoever did such heinous act would be a part of unforgiveable sin. Finally, when the idea of Anu and Thakur made some impact on the people around the gurs they supported the director in every possible way.Thankur expressing the three years’ hard-work experience said that they had to overcome lots of problems to make their effort successful. As there was no fixed time of the divine power to enter into the body they had to keep their cameras always on. They too tried to take capture gurs from different angles at the same time. On the other hand they also discussed with people in and around the gurs about this unbelievable happening.

Anu and Thakur made tireless effort to decipher the prophecy that remained as mysteries for centuries. They took help of modern and renowned scientist in many depictions. Finally they have ensured to provide as much knowledge and insight they could from their audacious hardwork to analyze the message of divine that came in the form of hand signals, or languages that could not be understood by public or in Pahari dialects.The producer looks forward for a warm welcome to this documentary by the people and also hopes that this documentary might help to increase the cultural tourist in Himachal.
