Behind the scenes
The director on the theme of 'Logout'
Dugal essays the role of a kind-hearted, although conflicted, therapist in Logout.
The movie is directed by Amit Golani and written by Biswapati Sarkar under the banner of Digital 18 Media Pvt Ltd. in association with Posham Pa Pictures.
Golani told Cinema Express, "Even with Logout, we're not saying social media or using a phone is bad. The question is—what cost are you willing to pay for it?"
