“During this time, Punjab was coming out of turmoil. I visited the Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh at that time. When I went there and saw what actually happened there, that triggered me emotionally.”
Shoojit, who has films like “Yahaan”, “Vicky Dina”, “Madras Cafe” and “Piku” to his credit, says Udham Singh is a forgotten hero.
“He was one of the prominent faces of the freedom movement but youngsters don’t know much about this martyr. He is a forgotten hero. Through my film, I want the youngsters to know him.”
