When asked about why he chose to do the film Abhay said, “I loved the script, but more than anything else what came out the most was the fact that this was Disney's first film based on an Indian American family. I have my sisters, nephews and nieces growing up there and I felt this is an important film for them.  If only they saw it growing up, they would've felt that they belong”

“The fact that Disney was taking the lead in producing diversifying content was exciting. Disney peeled through and unravelled many layers and they did it in this beautiful, simple way,” he further added.

An Independence Day special, Spin has now premiered on Disney International HD and Disney+ Hotstar Premium.
