Aslam says “Better Late Than Never is a short film that will make people aware of not using mobile phone while they are driving their cars or bikes.”
Although the film is set in India, Aslam believes that its message is universal.
“The films message is very similar to Towards Zero campaign in Australia,” adds Aslam.
Towards Zero is a vision for a future free of deaths and serious injuries on the roads.
Aslam adds “The after effect of one such mistake can be fatal for not only the person but his family as well.”
