Talking to ANI, he said, "The year 1984 is a dark chapter in Indian history. The way the entire Punjab terrorism situation was handled, was inhuman. It was purely for vote bank politics and that is why terrorism was cultivated by the Congress party in Punjab. First, they created it, then they destroyed it, then they killed lots of innocent people and then covered it up. To date, there has been no justice, what can be worse than that."

He said it is important to tell the truth to people so that they can take a stand and seek justice.
He added, "Delhi files will tell you lots of truth about Tamil Nadu also. It¡¯s not about Delhi; it just showed how Delhi has been destroying ¡®Bharat¡¯ for so many years. Those who ruled Delhi destroyed everything, right from Mughal kings to the British to the modern times."

The filmmaker also said that history should be fact-based and not based on people's political agenda or their own narratives.
"History should be evidence and fact-based. It should not be narrative-based. In India, the problem is that a lot of people write history based on the narrative or their political agenda and the political agenda of India mostly has been the western secular agenda therefore, the great Indus civilisation is always ignored and it is made to believe that we are weak people and everything that we've learnt is from Western rulers or invaders, that's why it is wrong."
Meanwhile, Anupam Kher is hoping that he will be a part of the movie.
