00:00I think the time has come to talk about the cinematic brilliance of this film.

00:06Every filmmaker does research.

00:11This will be one of the finest films made on any political subject, cinematically.

00:19When we talk about JFK in international cinema,

00:24we should take this film to the next level.

00:34Now watch the film, how a girl, in this case,

00:39she works so effortlessly that you can't imagine how hard she works.

00:46Today when you see Indira Gandhi on screen,

00:49we feel that she has done it.

00:53But it's not that easy.

00:56The internal approach, the external approach,

01:02directing the entire film, acting,

01:05I think she is one of the finest directors that I have worked with.

01:09Thank you so much. You have been so kind always.

01:12I must say that she is the hero of my film.

01:17If I am an anti-hero, she is the hero.

01:20It was very important for me that if Anupamji didn't make the film,

01:25I wouldn't have made the film.

01:27Because to have his personality on screen,

01:31and the honesty on his face,

01:36you will understand that at this time,

01:40who else can be J Prakash Narayan.

01:43He is such a great actor.

01:45Everyone knows him in politics,

01:48but he too was pushed into the darkness of anonymity.

01:53No one allowed him to come out.

01:56He did it with other leaders.

01:59We learn this from the emergency,

02:02that how many great leaders were there,

02:04whose names we don't even know.

02:06And he was our hero.

02:08I was a student of drama school.

02:10He became the new hero of the youth of that time.

02:15He represented honesty,

02:18a certain amount of class,

02:21a certain amount of bravery.

02:24He represented that.

02:26There is a very interesting line in your film.

02:29J Prakash Narayan is in jail.

02:31Even he knows who put him in jail.

02:34Indira Gandhi put the opposition in jail.

02:36And he is writing a letter to her.

02:38How beautiful democracy was at that time.

02:42Now there is a protest going on.

02:45What did you think about it?

02:47I think dignity was very important at that time.

02:51The dignity with which J Prakash Narayan raised the issue,

02:56I think it showed his own class.

03:01And you know, we have a documented letter of J Prakash Narayan.

03:06You will get it available.

03:08He wrote such a beautiful letter to the Prime Minister.

03:11I can't tell you how many pages he wrote.

03:15He wrote 8-9 pages.

03:17At that time he used to write a lot of letters to each other.

03:20But if you read the letter of 8-9 pages,

03:22you will be so surprised.

03:24Such a serious situation.

03:27He was in such a remand at that time.

03:31You can imagine,

03:33George Fernandes had broken his bones.

03:36And he endured it all his life.

03:39And if J Prakash Narayan died at that time,

03:43it was because of torture in the jail.

03:46So at that time,

03:49you can imagine,

03:51he wrote such a beautiful letter to the Prime Minister and the Constitution.

04:00If you read those 9 words,

04:02you will shed tears.

04:04He is explaining everything so well.

04:06And there is no bitterness anywhere.

04:09He was such a great personality.

04:12Your looks are also being praised.

04:14You have done a lot of work on your voice too.

04:17Who should be credited for this?

04:19Our prosthetic artist, David,

04:24he is right now the best in the world.

04:27He won an Oscar in Darkest Hour.

04:29Gary Oldman's transformation in Churchill.

04:32We are a small country.

04:35We have a small budget.

04:37We cannot make films at such a big level.

04:41And especially for new directors, it is difficult.

04:44And if it is a political drama,

04:46or a story of an old woman,

04:48it is even less for that.

04:50But I would say,

04:52we have left no stone unturned in any department.

04:55Whether it is photography,

04:57even in the smallest of things,

04:59I have really got the best in the world.
