Director Imtiaz Ali feels that he is not clean enough internally to attempt a children's film. Ali feels that to make a children's film such as Gattu, one's heart needs to be pure and soft.
Imtiaz was present at the premiere of the film Gattu, directed by Rajan Khosa. It is the first film by the Children's Film Society of India to be released theatrically.
Gattu has been honoured with a special mention at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in February.
