Vicky told PTI, “When you examine India’s past, you’ll discover countless superheroes such as Sambhaji and Chhatrapati Shivaji who outshine other superheroes. It’s crucial that we share these stories and celebrate them with the people. We take great pride in them. Their bravery and sacrifices are what allow us to live in this wonderful nation.”
