In a recent interview with ‘Freedom at Midnight,’ Director Nikhil Advani discussed his vision for the series. He emphasised that they aimed to break away from Western concepts, stating, "The process was just to decide that we don’t want it in the Western concept. They already set all the concepts, tones, and perspectives." This approach highlights the film's unique perspective and cultural authenticity.

00:00The process was just to decide that we don't want it in a westernized concept.
00:09That was the first process.
00:11We decided the tone, the perspective, the gaze.
00:17If you have seen the three drops that have already come,
00:21and whatever we have put on social media,
00:26it is the history you must know.
00:28You may not know, but the history you should know.
00:30So, of course, Dominic Lapierre and Larry Collins have written the book Freedom at Midnight.
00:37Their biggest fans were Dickie Mountbatten.
00:42Their first books were Jerusalem and Is Paris Burning?
00:48Their biggest fans were Dickie Mountbatten.
00:51Mountbatten was a little proud that everything is about the British.
01:01The way he wore his uniform, the way he was a star of India,
01:07he thought that Dominic Lapierre and Larry Collins were going to write a book about him.
01:13Then Dominic Lapierre and Larry Collins discovered Mahatma Gandhi,
01:17Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel.
01:19Even the book suddenly turns into more relevant and colourful characters.
01:29Without Mountbatten's contribution, a lot of stuff would not have happened.
01:37Good as well as extremely horrible.
01:40That's the gaze.
01:43We decided that this story is from the point of view of India.
01:47India is saying that from August 16, 1946 to January 30, 1948, what happened to India?
01:59What led to the greatest moment of independence happening?
02:04And what led to the horrific partition?
02:06That is what the gaze says.
