The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, stars Ranveer Singh, among others.
Film's defense
'Actors from South supported it openly, everyone should do that'
Kishan further said, "Actors from the South supported it openly; everyone should do that. A new trend has started of calling films propaganda - ek naya kabootar pakad liye hain log!" When asked if he has any regrets for not being in the film, he said, "I know someone somewhere must be writing a Dhurandhar for me. What's in fate will come to me; this was not in my account." "Similarly, I am not in my favorite Gangs of Wasseypur!"
Film's impact
