As per a report from The Hindu, the actor said, “I come from a family of Gandhi bhakts. But I am nobody’s bhakt. I had a controversial opinion on Gandhi when I was a teenager. This film is my apology to him. I never call him Mahatma because I wanted to see his face behind such a big halo.”
Talking about the film, Hey Ram bagged three National Awards post its release. The script for the film was written and directed by Kamal himself. The film was produced by Kamal Haasan along with Chandrahasan and Charuhasan under Raaj Kamal Films International banner.
The iconic film also had Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Vasundhara Das among others in pivotal roles.
