One netizen posted, “The visuals, scale and vision in #Jatadhara are simply awe-inspiring. I can’t help but admire the audacity of
@ZeeStudios_ and #PrernaArora for backing this project. I remember Prerna as an audacious producer who had a golden run between 2016-2018. Here was a lady who dared to throw her weight behind projects such as #Padman, #ToiletEkPremKatha and #Parmanu.. subjects which were considered taboo in Bollywood. But her vision & conviction paid off…. both artistically as well as commercially. ‘Jatadhara’ marks the new beginning for her as a producer and I’m genuinely excited to see which projects she helms in the near future.”
