The audience will decide who is right and wrong
Mahesh Manjrekar has shared a teaser poster of the film ‘Godse’ from his Instagram account. It read, ‘Happy Birthday Bapu, your Nathuram Godse.’ At the same time, Mahesh Manjrekar has written in his post, ‘The story of Nathuram Godse is very close to my heart. It takes guts to make a film like this. I have always believed in telling difficult topics and storytelling without compromising. People do not know much about Godse. People only know that they killed Gandhi. We neither want to save anyone nor speak against anyone while telling their story. Will leave it to the audience to decide who is right and who is wrong.

The untold story needs to be brought to the fore
Talking about the film, Sandeep Singh said, “I was thinking of Nathuram Godse’s story while making my first film. This is such an untold story that needs to be brought before the cinema lovers. There are many versions of Godse and Gandhiji that people know about. Mahesh, Raj and I intend to show this story based on facts and bring to the fore the cinematic creation of forgotten people for today’s generation.

People’s interest in knowing Nathuram Godse
Regarding the film, Raaj Shaandilyaa said, “In the last few years people have shown interest in knowing about Nathuram Godse. At the same time, we are now living in a society that encourages freedom of speech and different perspectives and views. So we feel this is the right time to bring a film on Nathuram Godse. I am looking forward to working with Sandeep Singh and Mahesh Manjrekar. I am sure this is a project that I would be proud of.
