Sharing photos from the event the director wrote, "Right before presenting our film ‘No Land's Man’ at the Cairo International Film Festival's gala screening! It felt so good to be back to the real world of the festival rather than an online one! Missed Nawazuddin Siddiqui!"

The director missed physical screening of ‘No Land's man’ in renowned film festivals due to Covid protocols and health issues. Earlier, Farooki could not attend the screening of ‘No Land's Man’ physically at PÖFF Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival held under the ‘Current Waves’ section the capital city of Estonia. However, Farooki judged the film online as one of the co-judges of the festivals.
