Since last 30 years the maverick filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi is known to make films which had been loved by all. When asked about the protest he said that neither he is trying to undermine the achievements of Mahatma Gandhi nor he is trying to glorify Nathuram Godse through his upcoming movie. He said that once people would see the film, they will understand what I am trying to convey through my film. I have equally given importance to both the historical characters in my films. He said that the way people tried to stage a protest in the press conference, it is not the correct way to disagree and show resentment against his film.
