London Dreams mounting can be compared to the casting of any big Hollywood drama.
After release London Dreams which was praised for its high production value and music became an immediate fan favourite. Critics hailed the film as an experience that is high on drama and emotions. What made London Dreams special was the fact that it also had some big Hollywood names as part of the key roles. The film boasted of names such as Chris Wilson, Paul Gregory and others.
