Director Amit Golani expressed his satisfaction with the project, stating, “Working on Logout has been an incredible experience.

It has already received great reviews from various film festivals, and I look forward to sharing it with a larger audience on ZEE5. This role challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and delve into the complexities of being an influencer in a captivating yet precarious digital landscape. I’m proud to be part of a story that sheds light on the hidden dangers of our online existence. Logout is an intense thriller, and I hope viewers join Pratyush on this compelling journey."
