Honey adds, "In a woke society, we bear the responsibility to talk about issues which are troubling all of us at large. 'Sleepwalkers’ questions the society as it is."

Producer Lalit Prem Sharma said, "Sleepwalkers, as the title goes, will set us up to reflect on our everyday actions and the expectations we have in our relationship with Mother Nature. That's important to us in a film, it should not just entertain and tell a story but also leave you questioning and reflecting on your own action and deeds."

Producer Abhishek Chaubey said, "‘Sleepwalkers’ is a deeply felt and stirring debut by Radhika Apte about something that concerns us all. While we pay lip service to climate change, we seldom accept our own culpability in it."
