Some people had already tried hard to stop the film, but they couldn’t. So now, why are they fighting it through indirect means? This film has come this far without the backing of any so-called big names or influential figures, because the efforts behind it have been honest and sincere. Thank you, everyone.” Tarde then added a line from a poem by Marathi writer Vinda Karandikar, which roughly translates to: “Your stature does not increase by denying someone their due. Always remember to give credit to those who deserve it.” He went on to add, “Whether it’s Pitya (the character in the film) or Shah Rukh Khan, it doesn’t matter. If someone has helped you, you should be able to openly acknowledge it and appreciate them publicly.”For the unversed, Tarde had earlier shared that he approached Shah Rukh Khan’s production house, Red Chillies Entertainment, for a Digital Cinema Package (DCP), the digital format required to screen films in theatres.
