Speaking with news agency ANI, Randeep had earlier spoken about the project and said, "This movie is based on his (Veer Savarkar) life, it is a story between 1897 and 1950. I have fearlessly handled all the misinformation regarding him. When this movie came to me, I realised that I don't look like him, and thus, I lost weight for this film.”
