A man whose towering intellect and fierce courage scared the British so much that they locked him in this 7 by 11 foot jail in kalapani for two life times (50 years). During the recce on his biopic I tried to lock myself inside this cell to feel what he must have gone through. I couldn’t stay locked for even 20 minutes where he was locked for 11 years often in solitary confinement.”
