00:00So I'll tell you, it's been over a year since I got a call from Lakshman Rao Joshi, who is now 87 years old.
00:10How old is Lakshman Rao?
00:11He is 87 years old.
00:1287 years old.
00:13The day the emergency was declared in Tamil Nadu, there was a huge crowd.
00:21600 people.
00:23At that time, he was an editor and a journalist there.
00:26He is a very big journalist.
00:29He was in Lokmat.
00:30He also had a relationship with Jai Prakash.
00:35Sripad Aparajit and Prakash Pohreji, if I remember correctly, were in the emergency.
00:43So the people who have come in today's case, many of them had an emergency.
00:49And we have endured this a lot in the emergency.
00:53And that's why the right history on this, Ganga ji has brought it in front of the public in the right way.
01:02I like a very Turkish film.
01:04We watched it with the whole family.
01:06And that was Jhansi Pirani.
01:09And that film was made so well that I still have memories of it in my mind.
01:15And that's why I have complete faith that this film will also be very successful.
01:21And the public will also get support.
01:23And for us, the most important thing is that the history of the emergency will once again come in front of the future generation.
01:31Because we have a very big problem.
01:33Today my sons have grown up.
01:35And they don't know what the emergency was.
01:38The British used to have a habit that whatever happened, they used to write a diary.
01:43Because we don't have the habit of writing anything old, no one knows the situation there today.
01:50My grandfather had died.
01:52He was lying in the house of a dead body uncle.
01:55The body was lying there for two or three days for the parole.
01:58And when he took the parole with great difficulty and went to the door of the jail,
02:03the jailer said that it is five o'clock.
02:05The sun has set.
02:06The door is closed.
02:07Then I sat there under the tree all night.
02:11And in the morning, when the sun rises, I was watching.
02:14When the sun rose, I went again.
02:16I said, five more minutes.
02:17After that, the door opened.
02:19Then in half an hour, I took my uncle out.
02:22Then I took him to the police station for parole.
02:25And then his funeral.
02:27And even during the funeral, the police were walking with the dead body.
02:31So a lot of people tolerated the talks of that time.
02:36And he used to work with me a lot.
02:42All these people were killed by the police at that time.
02:45By the way, we went to jail many times.
02:48There was no money to pay the bail of 50 rupees.
02:51That's why the magistrate sent us to jail.
02:54There were many cases.
02:55There were many cases in the emergency.
02:58But he was an ordinary person to fight.
03:02And those people, the poor people, left their homes and families and fought.
03:07So this is not just entertainment for us.
03:09This is a question of our integrity, which we are associated with.
03:12So I won't say much.
03:14But I would like to thank Kangana ji very much.
03:17That she brought this history to the people.
03:20And that's why today, there are different kinds of people.
03:23There is Vice-Chancellor.
03:24He is the head of all the media.
03:25He is the head of the aggressive newspaper Itwad.
03:28Rajendra Puri ji.
03:30Majority is Prakash Ghore ji.
03:32He is the head of all the media.
03:35And there are many important people present here.
03:39We have called such big people who are opinion makers in the society.
03:44And I think there is no need to say anything about Anupam ji.
03:49I want to thank him.
03:51Because on the basis of the integrity of life,
03:54his acting and the work he has done makes tears in my eyes.
03:58I was telling him this morning.
04:01There is a play called Natasamrat in Marathi.
04:04Nana Patekar ji also acted in that play.
04:07I tried a lot that Nana should act in our cultural festival.
04:11But he couldn't.
04:13Today I told him that he has a good program.
04:16In which his acting is like a one-of-a-kind experiment.
04:19I told him that he definitely has a role in it.
04:23And he does any work well.
04:27I think it is not right to wait for us.
04:31I thank Anupam ji, Karna ji and all the people involved in this film.
04:37I thank all of you for coming here.
04:40Thank you very much.
