Bunny Vasu Thanks Bansuri Swaraj for Permission to Use Real Footage & Names in Thandel
The upcoming film Thandel is set to bring to life the inspiring efforts of India’s former Minister of External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj, in rescuing 22 Indian fishermen held in Pakistani jails. Her unwavering dedication to Indian citizens abroad earned her a legendary status, and her legacy continues through her daughter, Bansuri Swaraj.
Sushma Swaraj’s Unmatched Legacy
Sushma Swaraj was a beacon of hope for Indians worldwide. Famous for her commitment to safeguarding the rights of Indian citizens abroad, she once declared that she would go to any length—even to the moon—to bring them home safely. One of her most notable acts was her relentless pursuit of justice for 22 fishermen who were wrongfully imprisoned in Pakistan between 2017 and 2018.
Following her passing, her daughter, Bansuri Swaraj, carried forward her mission, ensuring the safe return of these fishermen to India.
Bunny Vasu Expresses Gratitude to Bansuri Swaraj
Producer Bunny Vasu, the driving force behind Thandel, approached Bansuri Swaraj for permission to use her mother’s name and real footage from press conferences in the film. In a heartwarming gesture, Bansuri granted the necessary No Objection Certificate (NOC), allowing the filmmakers to authentically depict this crucial chapter of Indian history.
Bunny Vasu took to social media to express his gratitude, stating:
“Heartfelt gratitude to @BansuriSwaraj garu for giving us the opportunity to showcase the remarkable work of your mother, the former Central Minister Mrs. @SushmaSwaraj garu, in bringing back the fishermen who were stuck in Pakistani jails in 2017 and 2018 in our #Thandel 🙏 Your support in granting permission to share the names in our real, hard-hitting story of Raju and Satya means a lot to us. ❤️”
