The movie depicts Vajpayee's role in leading India through challenging times, such as the Kargil War and the Pokhran nuclear tests.

He added that the movie is a tribute to the inspiring leader who was way ahead of his time and now. "With the film releasing on ZEE5 Global, I sincerely hope that the film reaches the mind and the heart of every Indian across the globe as there is so much to learn and imbibe from this visionary man," the filmmaker said.
