During his acceptance speech for the best director award, the 43-year-old filmmaker had said it took eight years to produce the South African drama.

‘Vaya,’ a multiple award-winning film, was inspired by the true-life story of three strangers, who board a train bound for Johannesburg, each on their own mission.

The script was written by seven different writers and the movie was set in South Africa.
