She might have got “selected” to play Pihu when she was 2, but when the movie was shot she was 5 or 6 – and she clearly acts and looks that age on the screen. Advertising her a “2” on all the movie material is fraudulent.
she was selected to cast when she was 2 yrs. old(2014) and the crew including the director whom selected her spent 4-5 mos with her to be familiar with them..when the movie came out in 2018 she was 6yrs old 4 yrs after the shoot. clear?
Mike Hoy YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG.. SHE WAS ONLY 29 MONTHS OLD WHEN THE FILM WAS SHOT BUT WAS ONLY RELEASED IN 2018 WHEN SHE WAS ALREADY 6. UGOKKKK! 😅
Indeed a very good movie. Love that little Pihu…
❤️❤️
I desperately wanted to go into the movie and rescue her!! 😭😭

This is the most heart breaking film I have ever watched. I panicked so much that I badly wanted to push the doors down to hug and save her. I was so angry with the mother for taking her own life while the child was with her. What a self centred woman! Still feeling sad😪
