Excited about the film's worldwide release, Pawan narrates U-Turn's incredible journey.  "In 10 months, we have gone from ideation to release. I am hoping that this film will make all the patrons of Lucia happy again. The film will be premiering at the prestigious New York Indian Film Festival on May 8. In over 75+ years of Kannada cinema, very few Kannada films including Lucia and U-Turn have had an international premiere. We hope this will make way for more Kannada cinema to be introduced to the world," says Pawan.

Shiladitya Bora, CEO of Drishyam Films, is very confident about the film's theatrical prospects. "Pawan's films are heralding a new wave of Indian cinema that we can't wait to showcase across the world. U-Turn is an edge-of-the-seat thriller that is sure to keep audiences guessing till the last second. Like Lucia, U-Turn too has the potential for a long theatrical run and to gain a cult status among film buffs."
