Ajay Devgn On Why He Chose To Tell The Story Of Tanhaji Malusare
"When he (director Om Raut) narrated me the idea I liked it very much. In schools, there was just one para about him in textbooks. It is amazing how people like him sacrificed their lives. Even if the story was fictional it has that kind of power to excite you - it has heroism, drama, emotions. There are so many such heroes, who have sacrificed their lives for the country," the Singham actor said in an interview with Hindustan Times.

Here's How Tanhaji's Life Story Was Brought To Life On The Big Screen
Talking about the research work for the film, director Om Raut told PTI, "We met a lot of historians, researchers, read a lot of books and studied paintings. It is important to keep the sanctity, persona and the purity of the character intact when you are dealing with historical figures. There shouldn't be anything that will possibly create any type of harm to their image. There has to be self-censorship that every maker has to maintain. I would like to put such restrains on myself and keep the sanctity, purity intact and do it with the right heart so it gets translated on-screen."
