The experience has been overwhelming with scenes like I have never ever done before. Nikkhil Advani's vision, the talented ensemble cast, and the source material's historical significance made it an irresistible opportunity. I'm happy to see audiences positive response to this epic tale and I wish more and more people experience the magic of India's struggle for independence," Lawyer shared enthusiastically about his involvement.
