Written by Annukampa Harsh and Shaan Vyaas, and associate-produced Sanaya Irani Zohrabi, "Natkhat" is directed by Shaan Vyas and jointly produced by Ronnie Screwvala.

The festival is intended to raise funds that will be sent to the World Health Organization (WHO) in the fight against the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Co-producer Ronnie Screwvala said: "These platforms are truly making a difference by bringing people together even during these trying times. The donations from the festival will go to the World Health Organization and I am happy that our film is going to be screened on such a platform."
