According to report of  nbcnews, "We still can't believe it" says Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah in a statement posted on Instagram, "as directors, it is critical that our work be shown to audiences, and while the film was far from finished, we wish that fans all over the world would have had the opportunity to see and embrace the final film themselves. Maybe one day they will insha Allah"
