Producer Rebecca Changkija Sema admits that she wants to showcase the talent of Northeast through this film.

Director Shiraz Henry shares, “This was my 3rd film in Northeast, the other 2 movies namely Te Amo and Little Boy ( 2019 ) were shot in beautiful states Meghalaya, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. While Little Boy and Te Amo had a decent budget, Mechanical Dada is a small budget one, however, the story attracted me a lot I decided to make it. Any subject that has human values attracts me and here the story of a kid who makes friends with a crippled man in the street is a fantastic story jotted by Nagaland based writer Mr Hekishe Sema. I have spent a good amount of time in North East India while making Little Boy, I truly fall in love with people of Arunachal Pradesh .”

He further added, “Little boy was a full feature film based on a real story of Yumlam Achung whereas Mechanic Dada is a fiction drama but still its made in a very realistic manner.”

Henry simply admires the natural beauty of North East and reconfirms, “People of North East India are very talented, in every house-hold, you will find a musician or a singer. This is my second venture in Nagaland after I made a documentary which I shot in Longthu, Mokukchung for Mr.Temjen Imna. We shot in 52 villages where Mr.Along had arranged drinking water, tube-wells, public toilets, retention walls and many more facilities for the people of Nagaland. That trip was memorable and I must extend my sincere thanks to Rebecca Changkija Sema for introducing me to North East .”
