The primary goal of CHASER is to show readers how to overcome obstacles and give them hope they so richly deserve. It has to do with change, which can only occur when a person transforms internally. My personal favorite among the amazing characters is their friendship. Ultimately, the entire experience was an incredible rollercoaster. Apart from all of this, I feel that the book also somehow equips the reader to overcome such obstacles by presenting the terrible facts of life, which one can only fathom. Inspiring story.”

From reading this book, I learned that by putting our hearts into anything—whether it be love, career, or other pursuits—we can achieve greatness. The primary takeaway is that through hard work, smart work, a positive mindset, and determination, one can achieve everything they ever dreamed of and more. I also had the opportunity to meet him and that made me realize how someone who has achieved so much can remain so humble and down-to-earth. I hope your movie also does well in theaters.”
