Given the current scenario, I don't want to get into the political side of things, but I am thrilled that my film won an award. It is great and brilliant. I have been trying to reach Talha, the little boy who played Hamid but I just can't get through to him or his father's phone number," Aijaz told .Isn't it heartbreaking that you can't share the moment with him?"Yes, that's true," he said.The film tells the story of how a boy named Hamid forms a relationship with a CRPF trooper and how it helps them find redemption and closure through dialogue and conversation. The film has been shot entirely in Kashmir and the eight-year-old protagonist is a local Kashmiri boy. It also stars Rasika Dugal in a crucial role.Winning the award, Aijaz feels his hard work has paid off well."It has paid off. Even if the film didn't win the award, working on 'Hamid' opened up a new side of Kashmir before me. Being there has opened my eyes," the director said, adding that he wants to dedicate the win to his parents.( With inputs from IANS )
