Sharing a media report, Dhruva Karunakar also took to Instagram and shared his thoughts about the project and director Digpal Lanjekar.

If reports are to be believed, Dhruva Karunakar and Digpal Lanjekar's project is based on social reformer Mahatma Jyotirao Phule. It is being heard that the film is titled as Mahatma, in which Dhruva will play the lead role. However, there is no official confirmation about it.

Meanwhile, Digpal is very much fond of Maratha history, as his last two films Farzand (2018) and Fatteshikast (2019) were based on the same. His next Jung Jauhar is based on the life of an extraordinary warrior, the great Baji Prabhu Deshpande. While speaking about the project, the director told Times of India, "Jung Jauhar was scheduled to release in June. Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus, we have decided to wait until the lockdown is lifted."
