"The operation was not known for many persons. This is a covert operation due to political reasons. The person on which my character is based exists in real. I have never met him. His name is not Ranjith Katyal. His original name is something else.
It is only the character name and he is not hidden. He just stays away from spot light. In the movie, my character has been slightly modified. Even though the character had his own wife and kids, he will rescue the workers first. That is all about the greatness of this character."
