An international crew contributed to the making of the film: [[post-production]] was completed in [[Goa]] (editing), Italy (picture color correction) and London ([[Audio mixing (film and television)|sound mixing]]) with Kumar simultaneously completing post-production on ''Inshallah, Football'' . Most crew members worked for a fraction of their usual fees; Kumar persuaded them to participate in the making of film by highlighting the opportunity of teaching young children film-making in a participatory film project that would result in film of their own. Kumar sings the Doon School song 'Lab Pe Aati Hai' in the soundtrack as well as ''Howly is Krishna'' which was improvised during a music recording session in Goa. | An international crew contributed to the making of the film: [[post-production]] was completed in [[Goa]] (editing), Italy (picture color correction) and London ([[Audio mixing (film and television)|sound mixing]]) with Kumar simultaneously completing post-production on ''Inshallah, Football'' .
