The filmmaker said, “There’s nothing like propaganda. You are just bringing the truth in front of the people. When the whole of India has accepted it, then why do some people’s opinions matter?” He further added, “India has watched and accepted it. There are no bigger hits. Do you think those people who have watched the film are fools? It’s people’s opinion, leave it with them. Don’t confront it. Forget it. He has achieved.”

Priyadarshan Reflects On Aditya Dhar’s Early Struggles In The Industry

Priyadarshan also reflected on Dhar’s early career struggles, recalling how the filmmaker had once felt disheartened after some of his scripts were used without proper credit. Expressing pride in his journey, he said, “He was very disheartened… When your children and disciples come up in life, that’s the best joy you can ever have.”

The debate around the film recently intensified after remarks by filmmaker Vetrimaaran on ‘hate propaganda’ cinema sparked speculation online, although no direct reference was made to Dhar’s project.
