Tunku Mona and Haris discuss the challenges and also the accolades they have received on the success of this movie, and what changes they would like to see in the industry so that more notable films like 'Redha' can reach the heights that many films from neighbouring countries have reached. 

As we continue to strive for the arts to be accepted as an essential educational tool for a developing country, we chat about what it takes to achieve this.
