I think Sidharth and Kiara have done a very good job. Sidharth’s entry is very nice as well. Vishnuvardhan has directed it very well,”

The family got a call from the makers of the films, to grant them permission. When asked about the same, Vikram’s father said, “It was Mr Shabbir Boxwalla who first came up with this idea. He is a co-producer on the film; he met me and discussed it at length. I shared with him things about Vikram’s childhood, school, college, joining the Army and the war period. After that, he approached Dharma Productions to produce the film along with him. That’s how Karan Johar came in,”, as quoted by Pink Villa.
