Filmmaker Sandeep Singh shared, "Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji was one of the greatest leaders of Indian history who won the hearts of enemies with his words, who led the nation affirmatively and created the blueprint of progressive India. Being a filmmaker, I feel that cinema is the best medium to communicate such untold stories that will reveal not only his political ideologies but his humane and poetic aspects, which made him the most loved "leader of opposition" as well as India's most progressive Prime Minister."
