“And the story being so inspiring, it was no surprise that Phoebe Waller also stepped in.. Of course she is a powerhouse of talent so her addition I am sure has lifted the film to greater heights. We play key roles at different stages in Roya Mehboob’s life and journey along with the afghani robotics team for girls”.
