On the other hand, the film’s producer Anand Pandit said, “Savarkar’ is a very prestigious project for us because of the incredible impact that Veer Savarkar had on our nation's freedom struggle.

Echoing his sentiments was the film’s producer Sandeep Singh, who said, "People the world over continue to misunderstand him. They wanted, and still want, him to apologise without knowing the reason. When I say that Veer Savarkar was truly a patriot, I mean it, and stand by it staunchly. Thus, for those who have misunderstood him need to watch our film for all factual information. History cannot be corrected and the events that have transpired in the past cannot be changed. I feel privileged and grateful to have got an opportunity to make a film on one of our greatest freedom fighters of his time."
