I hope that our effort to present his momentous life and his admirable qualities will resonate with the audiences. He is a role model everyone should know more about.” Producer Ronnie Screwvala added, “It’s not often that one gets to make a movie on an Icon and a true patriot. And it’s not often that one partners with the perfect Director to bring this story to life and Meghna does that and much more.
