'Tejas' director Sarvesh Mewara on taking inspiration from 'Rang De Basanti' for one of the dialogues

The trailer of 'Tejas' has captured the attention of audiences with its gripping action sequences, expansive storyline, and a narrative that invokes a sense of national pride. Among the standout elements, one particular dialogue has left a profound impact: "When in Doubt, Think About The Nation." This powerful line is not just a random addition but is deeply connected to the film's inspiration from producer Ronnie Screwvala's iconic creation, 'Rang De Basanti.'

Sarvesh Mewara, the director of 'Tejas,' acknowledges the significant influence of Ronnie Screwvala, known for delivering several successful films, with 'Rang De Basanti' being a standout example. Mewara emphasizes that Screwvala's contribution has been instrumental in shaping the essence of 'Tejas.'

In explaining the relevance of the 'Rang De Basanti' dialogue within the context of 'Tejas,' director Sarvesh Mewara highlights the meaningful connection between these two cinematic ventures. He shared, "Tejas is a film that revolves around Female Fighters and their unwavering dedication to their country. The creative force behind Tejas, Ronnie Screwwala, has played a significant role in shaping this film. The dialogue "Koi Bhi Desh Perfect Nahi Hota Hai Usse Perfect Bana na Padta hai" from Ronnie Sir's creation, Rang de Basanti, deeply resonated with me and influenced the dialogue "When in doubt think about the Nation" in Tejas."

Produced by RSVP, Tejas stars Kangana Ranaut in the titular Role. Written and Directed By Sarvesh Mewara and Produced By Ronnie Screwvala, the film is scheduled to release in Theatres on October 27th, 2023.
