Having shot the film entirely during the lockdown, we’re immensely glad to be able to continue to entertain and bring exciting content for our audience even at a time like this and hope that fans across the world enjoy and share their love towards the film.”
“CU Soon is a computer screen based drama thriller – a new concept that has barely been explored in Indian cinema” Director Mahesh Narayan said, “People are attempting to stay virtually connected during these unprecedented times, and we wanted to take this concept a step further by exploring a unique format of storytelling through multiple screen devices. This film would not have been conceptualized or created without the virtual communication software and their developers.

I am delighted to globally premiere CU Soon on Amazon Prime Video.”
