He said, “Tinu deserves the National Award. He’s been with the screenplay for the last 4-5 years, he has worked so hard. I don’t know about what the commerciality of this film going to be but that is for sure I am so proud of the film he has made. And I am happy to say that this is one of the best films which I have done.”
‘Mission Raniganj‘ also starred actor Parineeti Chopra in the lead role.
The film is based on the true life event of late Jaswant Singh Gill, who led India’s first successful coal mine rescue mission in November 1989.
