When I sent him the script of the film, I had no idea whether he would accept the role or not. But he agreed to work with me, supported me a lot, and I learnt a lot from him. Kannada language dialogues, pronunciation were completely new to him. But he delivered excellent dialogues, the way he delivered in dubbing as well, was amazing. I would say that I didn’t direct him in this film but I got to learn a lot from Kabir sir and it was a lifetime learning experience for me.”

Dozens of producers and directors tried to make a film on this subject, but with the blessings of God, I got the opportunity to make a film on this subject and work with a legendary actor like Kabir Bedi.”
Kabir Bedi said, “The project is very unique. Excellent cast, skilled director and visionary producer. The story will touch people’s hearts. In Kannada dialogue delivery and dubbing too, my 100% effort has been to deliver perfect lines as I believe in perfection in my work.”
