Trivia

Album

• This film was an adaptation of a 2014 book of the same title by Sanjaya Baru, the media advisor and the chief spokesperson of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from May 2004 to August 2008.
• The film was certified in December 2018 and released in January 2019. Its music was published in January 2019 as well.
• The film's release was surrounded by controversy. Congress party members labelled the film as political propaganda after the Twitter handle of the BJP shared the film's trailer calling it a "riveting tale of how a family held the country to ransom for 10 long years". Angered by what they considered mischaracterisation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Nehru-Gandhi family, workers of the Congress party protested against the film, vandalised theatres and disrupted its screening in some places.[1][2]
