Kunal Rajan, the sound designer of Uttama Villain had told Eric England about Maya and the director posted words of praise about the film.Here's the post, "My sound designer Kunal Rajan, who has worked on all my feature films, has opened the door for me to find new cinematic influences and cultures with some wonderful films coming out of India. I recently had the chance to sit in a theater and view MAYA, a stunningly beautiful and haunting new film from that part of the world that really impressed me with it's solid acting, beautiful photography and incredible sound/score. If you're not familiar with the films from that part of the world, or are interested in seeing a new style of storytelling, I highly recommend seeking this film out and treating yourself. It's a unique experience, both in the way of storytelling and in the presentation, and it's in theaters right now. Check the link below to see if it's in a theater near you!"
