Creator track record context
Almost the entire creative team, including directors Aditya Dhar and Vikash Nowlakha, has a track record of focusing on nationalist, military, and craft-centered projects. Only creative producer Aarsh Vora has a moderate woke history due to his past work on inclusive teen series, which does not impact this film.
