As his own upcoming project is also set against the backdrop of Partition, the filmmaker said he was interested in seeing Imtiaz Ali's interpretation of a subject that continues to resonate across generations in both India and Pakistan.Sharing his views, Umair wrote, "Main Vaapas Aaunga is a beautiful and deeply emotional film one that stays with you long after it ends. As one of our upcoming stories is set against the backdrop of Partition, we were naturally curious to experience Imtiaz Ali's @imtiazaliofficial interpretation of this chapter of history.

From Manto, Bhisham Sahni, Intizar Husain, Qurratulain Hyder, Ali Akbar Natiq to generations of filmmakers across the subcontinent, each has found new ways of engaging with its memories, wounds and humanity," he added."Perhaps that is because Partition is simply too vast to be contained within a single story. Each generation returns to it, uncovering new meanings. In many ways, the working title of our own project, 'Chor Aaye Hum', echoes a similar sentiment of memory, belonging and return. We look forward to sharing our own journey with this subject soon. PS: Needless to say anything for AR Rehman ♥️ (sic)," the filmmaker concluded.
