“Yes, I have invited the policemen in the attack and the immediate survivors for the first look of the movie that is to release in 2013,” RGV said, adding that the intent of making this film was that he felt that the entire world needed to know the truth behind the events that unfolded on that fateful night.

The film is not yet completed and Verma still needs to
shoot a few scenes, including the shooting at CST station.
However, it appears that might not be possible, as the railway authorities have denied permission to RGV to shoot his movie there. Senior railway authorities had rejected his proposal saying that it was a sensitive issue.

“We won’t permit him to recreate the incidents of 26/11. A proposal has been sent to the railway board and its decision will be final,” Subodh Jain, general manager, Central Railways, had said.

A RPF staff who didn’t wished to be quoted and who received an invitation from Verma said that he will willing to go but had to take permission from his seniors for this.u00a0
