Right from 1857 to 1947 entire journey was to be felt though powerful music and emotions. Apart from that we wanted to create awareness among the youth about the supreme sacrifices made by our freedom fighters through entertainment media. It took almost a year for the research and getting technical specifications right for AZADI.

The ups and downs going parallel with the time travel was indeed challenging. I thoroughly enjoyed this project and the song is one of the best songs very close to my heart.
Lyricist Shakeel Azmi said that the song is different in many aspects. The song was difficult to write as it has to had emotions of known and unknown heroes without mentioning their names. The song salutes the sacrifices of all those who tolerated continues harassment of Britishers for the sole aim of seeing independent. This song underlines the importance of hard-earned independence for today’s youth. Thus the hook line of song is ‘Badi Mehangi hai ye Azadi’.
