Issar said he was pained by the sadhus’ lynching . “The film is written and directed by my son Siddhant. He will also play the lead,” he added. Siddhant said it was not a controversial but a sensitive topic. “A lot of support is there if any issue related to minorities is filmed. The industry is prone to portraying saints and sadhus in poor light,” he added. The film will be released on an OTT platform next month.
