For the special gesture, director Shaad Ali went to the paraplegic rehabilitation center in Pune and had a small chat session with them.
When asked him about his experience he said, "It's heartening to see everyone come out today like this. They share the real heroes of our country. Be it sportsperson or an officer from the armed forces. They commit themselves to the country and the flag. We've tried our best to tell the story on screen."
He also watched the movie with the soldiers and shared his experience on that too, " To be able to see with these heroes the real 'Soormas' or brave warriors of our country is an experience which goes beyond making the film. I'm just watching it like a layman right now and not even thinking about how I've made the film"
