Director Nikkhil Advani discusses his historical adaptation, Freedom at Midnight based on the book by the same name. He highlighted the chaos of India’s Independence and Partition. He emphasizes the weight of recreating Jawaharlal Nehru’s ‘Tryst with Destiny’ speech and the unprecedented violence that followed due to partition. Advani explains the deliberate choice to keep Gandhi’s assassin nameless, mirroring the police’s initial lack of identification, and hints at future historical projects.
