Ram gopal verma:
In the case of Jan Gan Rann, I don’t think it is a gimmick. The film is about the media, which is a communication point between the people and the power of the country. So to that extent more or less that is what the content of the film is about. And I think the song represents what the film is about.

Rajeev Masand: It seems to me as if nothing is sacred to you. Why would you fool around with the National Anthem to promote your film?

Ram Gopal Varma: See, I fundamentally disagree with the word fooling around. Now what does the word ‘fooling around’ mean? If I ridicule the anthem or try to demean it or show it in a bad light or make a joke out of it, then you can use the word fooling around.

The whole point in Tagore’s National Anthem is this is how the country should be and what it should represent. And the media and the politicians also exactly know what the country is going through. So I thought it would be interesting to basically use the National Anthem as a platform to draw attention to the state of our nation.
