The film bonds the two communities (Indians and Latins) together. This movie is not a just a movie for theatre it has become a milestone to Latin movie industry for the new difference and changes by its style.

Prabhakar’s journey to making successful movies in Latin America hasn’t been an easy one. He had landed in Costa Rica in the year 2000 for higher studies at Universidad Panamericana and got involved in the business of Indian clothing and restaurant after completing his studies. In 2006, he brought first Bollywood movie to Costa Rican theaters but his venture wasn’t a successful one back then.


Eventually he moved back to India where again he saw many ups and downs in professional as well as personal life. Finally he decided to move back to Costa Rica and revive his love for Bollywood films. And this time, he made it big! He is now gearing up for his next project titled ‘Borders Without Life’ which will be a film about people who put their lives at risk and adopt illegal means to come to the US!
