Akshay shared his personal connection to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, revealing it had been a significant part of his family's history. He remarked, "My grandfather witnessed the entire Jallianwala Bagh incident. He had told stories to my father about this, and my father told me. I have known a lot about the massacre since I was a child, so the film is very special to me. The event has been etched in my mind always...The most surprising thing was history doesn't tell us what we actually need to know." This deep familial link makes the film an important project for him, shedding light on the historical events that are deeply embedded in his heritage.

Furthermore, Akshay expressed a desire for the British government and King Charles to see his film, asserting it could act as a catalyst for acknowledgment and possibly an apology for the past atrocities. He stated, "I'm not here with a begging bowl to say, 'They should say sorry'. I want them to at least watch this movie and realise the mistake. Other things will flow automatically from their mouth. The apology is bound to happen, it will flow on its own. But I want them to watch this film. I want the British government and King Charles to watch this film. They should see what happened. The rest will follow automatically." His words suggest a hope that the film will prompt a genuine realization and admission of historical wrongs by the British, moving beyond mere cinematic entertainment to serve as a medium for reconciliation.
