In our interview before Four samosas world premiere in Tribeca, Potula expressed her excitement at finally being able to “share [the movie] with the world,” the tickets the actor says sold out in ten minutes. “When you make a movie, it’s like a baby. You [have] to let it grow and let everyone experience it and ingest it as they should.” More importantly, for Potula and the rest of the film’s cast and crew, Tribeca will effectively mark the first time that ‘it will be seen by an audience. .’ I can’t wait to see it with a [audience], mostly a comedy,” he says. “It’s always fun to see where people laugh, and I can’t wait.
