Actor Ajay Devgn says the attempt with his latest war drama "Bhuj: The Pride of India" is to chronicle unheard stories of great sacrifices made for the country. Devgn lamented that people of the country are unaware about the sacrifices made by countless heroes during the war.He said even he had never heard the real-life story of Bhuj until the film came to him.There are such great sacrifices that people don't know about. It's not there in our history books."And if we don't talk about our sacrifices and heroes, how are we going to love our country?" the 52-year-old actor told PTI in an interview.
"Bhuj", Devgn said, isn't a film about one man but "multiple heroes" and a huge group of women who weren't part of any armed forces. "They broke their houses to make a runway and I thought it was a great story to tell," he added. Devgn said as a maker, the key is to not dramatise a real event for provoking nationalist sentiments."You keep characters and screenplay very real. You should know where to draw the line. In our film, there's no jingoism. In 'Tanhaji' also, there was no jingoism. They were fighting for the country but not crying that they loved their country," he adde. The war movie also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Ammy Virk, Nora Fatehi and Sharad Kelkar.
