“This is an anti-propaganda film. It will counter all the propaganda against Savarkar that has been going on for decades. He was not a `maafiveer’ (apologist). Not only him, many other people too wrote mercy petitions at the time. I have addressed this very extensively in the film,” Randeep said.
He further added, “There were petitions and bail pleas. It`s the right of any prisoner. If anyone has been to a court, they would know how the court is addressed. He was lodged in cellular jail; he wanted to get out of there and contribute to the country culturally and politically. He did whatever he could to come out and contribute to the country.”
