The team of ‘Aakhri Sawal’ held a special screening of the film in New Delhi on Wednesday, May 13. Several cast members and political figures were present at the event. However, before the film could even be released in cinemas, it became a topic of debate on social media, where many people called it “propaganda.” Actor Namashi Chakraborty responded to the criticism, saying people should watch the film first before forming an opinion. The film stars Sanjay Dutt in the main role and is based on the 100-year journey of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). It is directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Abhijeet Mohan Warang.
Namashi urges people to watch the film
After the screening, Namashi spoke to the media and addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding the film. He made it clear that people should not label the film without seeing it first. “Everyone has their own point of view. But no one should call the film propaganda without watching it. The film teaches how to form your own opinion. It’s not only important to ask questions, but also to listen to answers,” he said.
Actor draws strength from father Mithun Chakraborty ‘s words
The actor also opened up about how he handles criticism and controversy in his life.

Sameera Reddy praises film’s factual approach
