Farhan Akthar speaking to scribes, said “The story is the battle that he fought. It’s become the stuff of legends. When I heard about Shaitan Singh ji and the soldiers who fought with him, it really inspired me. It was very motivating to realise how much you can do for your people if you’re determined. That spirit really moved me. There’s a wonderful sense of patriotism that you feel when you do this. It brings to the forefront what being an Indian is truly about. It awakens something inside you.”
He added , “All of us as artists have only our instinct to go on. But this is a story that has already stood the test of time. The fact that it has reached me, and that there’s so much excitement to bring it to life 64 years later, says it all.”
