Sharing at the meeting with the leaders of Quang Tri province, actor Harshvardhan Rane said there were many reasons for him to accept to participate in the film. One of them was being overwhelmed by the majestic grandeur of Son Doong Cave. The actor said he wanted to contribute to promoting that beauty to the Indian people in particular and the big screen audience in general. Meanwhile, another member of the film crew who had set foot in Son Doong 1 year ago shared that he did not expect there to be such a beautiful place in the world. "My heart stopped beating when I stood in the middle of Son Doong," he said.
Mr. Nguyen Chau A, General Director of Oxalis Adventure and Oxalis Holiday, the exclusive operator of Son Doong discovery tours, said that due to the limited number of tourists entering Son Doong each year, it took up to 2 years to "reserve a spot" for the SILAA film crew to enter Son Doong. Mr. Chau A jokingly said that when the film is released, if it has a good effect, tourists will even wait up to... 10 years for their turn.
