It represents strength, pain, passion, extraordinary courage and sacrifice, and many such values that I have tried to do justice through my character in the film. The role called for a lot of physical, and even more mental preparation to get into Udham Singh's shoes and bring to life the story of a man whose heroism and grit stand unmatched," he shared.
Director Shoojit Sircar shared the process of the film, an "ode to the lionhearted spirit" of Udham Singh.

It took years of in-depth research to unearth and share with the world the valiant story of a martyr who sacrificed his life to avenge India`s most dreadful tragedy. The entire team is extremely proud to have had an opportunity to work on bringing forward a story of a revolutionary who played a key role in India`s freedom struggle," he said.
