These photos will be released one by one from 10.05 am on January 26th, as a Tribute to Iconic Leaders as Republic Day special. The Pre Looks of the posters are being released from January 23rd.

Speaking about the initiative, Chethan Cheenu said he discussed this idea with his sister a few years ago. "This initiative had actually started as a film. I wanted to represent some  Revolutionary Leaders on screen and began researching about them.

In view of the huge expense involved in making a film of this scale and having in mind the ongoing pandemic situation, we then decided to go ahead with a realistic and grand photo session before commencing the movie. Following this, we held a calendar shoot of 12 Revolutionary Leaders".

Chethan Cheenu said the making video of the shoot will also be released in the coming days.

He said that Kamal Haasan was his inspiration to try this project. "I would be very happy and satisfied if I could achieve at least one percent of what he did," he added.

He also said that those who saw the pre look posters have appreciated it a lot.
