The claims made in the film's teaser have kickstarted a debate on Twitter.
"Randeep bhai.. Abhi you have missed many more name... Bal Pal Lal, Chandra shekhar Azad, Mangal pandey, Rani jhansi, Ram prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, Martin king Luther, Nelson Mandela... All took inspiration from your 'Veer' Savarkar. Specially Godse," a Twitter user said.
"What Nonsense! Why are you changing the reality of history for earning money. Have you gone mad @RandeepHooda?Writing mercy petitions, taking pensions from & acting khabri to the Britishers & getting the freedom fighters arrested was Savarkar¡¯s business.Study some facts," read another tweet.?
"Inspiration behind the first terrorist of India - Godse. Why don't you add that to the list? No shame?"
"The trailer of this propaganda movie says that, "If it hadn't been for Gandhi, India would have got freedom 35 years before."35 years before 1947 is 1912 and Gandhi came to India, from South Africa, in 1915. These idiots are making movies," reads another tweet.
"Clearly, this movie will be a disaster, we are sure he didn't inspire all the freedom fighters you listed. ?yes, he was most wanted by the British, who else would work for the British."
"18-year-old Khudiram Bose was martyred in 1908. And Savarkar was in London from 1906 to 1911.Netaji Bose repeatedly criticized Savarkar & Hindu Mahasabha. Savarkar also didn¡¯t utter a word about Bhagat Singh¡¯s hanging while Nehru and Bose tried their best to save him."
"Please don¡¯t spread fake news. Bhagat Singh threw a bomb in the assembly and kept sitting, refusing to flee. Savarkar begged the British for mercy."
