“Patriotism Is Not a Formula,” Says Vicky Kaushal

Addressing the question, Vicky said,
“Patriotism is not a formula. Calling it a formula is, in a way, an insult to our country. Patriotism is part of our identity. Through cinema, sports, and literature, we will continue to express it. These mediums help us show how deeply we love the diversity of our nation.”

Patriotism Rooted in History and Real Events
Chhaava tells the story of a historic warrior and strongly reflects the spirit of patriotism. The film powerfully portrays the sacrifice of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj for the nation and Swarajya. Dhurandhar, on the other hand, is also inspired by real-life events, adding authenticity to its narrative.
