He said, “I am happy to be in Mumbai, and to see you all after a long time, this time as a producer. I know you are all fed up with the tag pan-India. But this one will surprise you, you will enjoy it. When we started the film, we wanted to make it as a Tamil film, once the shoot was finished, one of the producers watched it and said, ‘This film has the capacity and potential to reach a wider audience, why can’t we dub it in other languages’? Then, we discussed that we Indians got independence on the same day, felt the same emotions, so we should do it. You will enjoy the film. The director of the film came to me eight years ago. He worked as an AD. I read his script and decided to produce it. He has a unique point to a wonderful story", reports Indian Express.
