Addressing a presser today, Kamlesh described Kakori as \u201ca film carved out of fire and sacrifice. Four revolutionaries martyred within forty-eight hours\u2014how can such an incident ever fade? Their bravery and sacrifice still thunders through the generations. With the centenary arriving on 9th<\/sup>\u00a0August 2025, it felt like history itself nudged us to retell this story\u2014with honesty, grit, and a whole lot of emotion.\u201d<\/p>\n
