Official trailer
The trailer begins with a speech by the then Prime Minister of the UK announcing the decision that has been taken by the government of England about handing over all the “responsibilities” to the people of India. Moving on, a young lady rushes to Mahatma Gandhi (Chirag) and informs him that in six weeks, on the 15th of August, India will have independence. Another politician aggressively converses with his fellow mates about serious concerns including religious riots, and division of the country.
Sidhant portraying Jawaharlal Nehru mentions, “Division based on religion is the British way, staying united is ours (India).” On the other hand, Arif Zakaria as Mohammad Ali Jinnah seems to acknowledge a group of people and cites, “We want an independent, sovereign Pakistan and we will settle for nothing less.” Furthermore, Malishka emerges in the role of Sarojini Naidu. The RJ-actor delivers a powerpack dialogue talking about Mahatma Gandhi and his power. Meanwhile, Rajendra Chawla appears as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
