No wonder, since the Bollywood actor has scored a hard-fought win: his latest film, Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran, which weathered a lot of difficulties on its way to the theatres, has opened to good reviews and good collections. I made this film for India, for everybody, not a noir audience; therefore, I’m very happy that India has responded positively. There was also the legal battle (with former backer KriArj Entertainment over payments) that you had to fight to get the film released. Its release was like the (Pokhran) nuclear test. When I started researching for Parmanu, I went to this small town called Khetolai, which is close to the Pokhran range.
