Before Sanjay Dutt's Aakhri Sawal hits the screens, it has already become a hot topic. Recently, the makers of the movie unveiled the official teaser of the movie that has been directed by Abhijeet Mohan Warang. It revolves around an intelligent student who confronts his teacher, Gopal Nadkarni, when his dissertation was turned down.

Sanjay Dutt's Aakhri Sawal to pioneer accessibility in Indian cinema

Sanjay Dutt’s Aakhri Sawal is slated to see the light of the day on May 8, which is a week earlier than the originally announced date of May 15. But the more significant development here is that the movie will be the first Hindi movie ever to be released in Indian Sign Language (ISL).

Producer Nikhil Nanda further tweeted the news. In his post, he said, "Aakhri Sawal breaks new ground in cinematic accessibility, becoming the first film to release with born accessible Indian Sign Language on 8 May." This step is indicative of the hard work the filmmakers have put into making cinema more accessible.

The movie is about the journey spanning one hundred years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The movie has been produced together by Sanjay Dutt, Nikhil Nanda, Puneet Nanda, Dr. Deepak Singh, Gaurav Dubey, and Ujjwal Anand.

Besides Sanjay Dutt, other actors cast in this movie include Neetu Chandra, Sameera Reddy, Amit Sadh, Tridha Choudhury, and Namashi Chakraborty. In an interview, Neetu Chandra confessed that she portrays a media mogul who is the editor-in-chief of a prominent news network.

The soundtrack of Sanjay Dutt's movie Aakhri Sawal is created by Monty Sharma, and the lyrics have been written by Kumar Vishwas. In addition to this, Sanjay Dutt also released his character poster with the slogan, ‘The Question India Never Stopped Asking.’ The teaser of the movie was released during the celebrations of Hanuman Jayanti, which created more hype for the movie.
