While addressing the media Akshay also suggested that the film should be showcased to all kids in schools, so that the children can also learn about the great warrior of India.
“Everything you see in the film is true, it has indeed happened. But we don’t know about it. I really find it amusing. Dr saab (director) has been researching this for 18 years! That’s the amount of hard work he has put in the film.” Akshay said
The film also stars Sanjay Dutt in an important role, along with Sonu Sood, while also marking the screen debut of Miss World Manushi Chillar. The movie is set to hit the theaters on June 3rd.
