Producer Abhishek Agarwal said about the film, 'We are excited to bring the life of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam to the big screen. This is an emotional moment for us. I feel honored to collaborate with Indian cinema legends Om Raut and Dhanush. We have been fortunate to tell this story, and each one of us is trying to bring alive the journey of the true Bharat Ratna Kalam ji. This is one of the most prestigious projects of Indian cinema.'

Born on 15 October 1931, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was the President of India for 5 years. Dr. Kalam's life, who rose from Rameswaram to Rashtrapati Bhavan, is a role model for the people. Known as the 'Missile Man of India', he rose from humble beginnings to become an aerospace scientist and finally the people's President. He used to say that 'no matter what the circumstances in life, once you decide to fulfill your dreams, you do it.'
