The film premiered in the market section of 2009 Cannes Film Festival, and got a positive response. Naval said that she could not manage to find the right distributor, who would be able to handle the sensitivity of the film's subject.
"My film is about a prostitute and a gay man. When I made the film people wondered in which category to put this film. We didn't find the right combination- the right distributor, who would know how to market this kind of subject. I am trying to take it to release in the next few months without any further delay," Naval told PTI.
The 56-year-old actress feels with the change in the present scenario of the film industry, she can comfortably bring out her kind of cinema.
"Now people are beginning to see that the more experimental the subject, the better. Out of curiosity a lot more people will want see it. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I think it is the right time to bring out my kind of cinema," she said.
Incidentally, Naval's cult 1981 film 'Chashme Buddoor' is being re-released after over 3 decades on April 5. The film's remake directed by David Dhawan is also set to hit screens on the same date.
