Rajendra on what he hopes people take away from his film, “My Claire”.
“The film deals with death, dying with dignity, afterlife, and spirituality. When I made the film, I didn’t intend to dig into such a heavy topic and say something profound as much as I wanted to make the audience feel the story. We all have lost someone in one way or the other, we all have been in some kind of pain that has stayed with us for a long time. I just hope the film brings comfort and a sense of healing to those who watch it.”
