On behalf of his family - Ravinder Kaushik’s sister, Mrs. Shashi Vashisth, who has given the rights to Raj Kumar Gupta says,“ Bachpan se hi Desh bhakti ka Jazba uske dil mei tha. Desh bhakti par hi play likhta aur karta tha , bahut sunder bhi tha aur sab Vinod Khanna bulatey thaiy. I know my brother’s story is very unique and many people have approached us to make a film on him but it never felt right kyon ki humarey liye yeh Bahut personal hai. When Raj Kumar Gupta approached us, since we knew of his films like No One Killed Jessica we felt confident .He is a sensible film maker and he is the right person to tell my brothers story for the first time.”
