Of War, History and Bose: Kunal Kapoor Opens up on ‘Raag Desh’
“A lot of stuff out there is distorted” - Kunal Kapoor on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s alliance with Adolf Hitler.
Kunal Kapoor tells us the story of Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Raag Desh and why the liberation struggle and the subsequent Red Fort trials faced by the Indian National Army, are little known parts of our history. He plays Shah Nawaz Khan, a character who was at the heart of the trials and also reveals more on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's alliance with Hitler for the sake of India’s freedom.
