Here’s what they said.

Jumping forward to defend his film, Nitesh Tiwari broke his silence about the mention of Hitler and the scenes showing the Holocaust. He said,

“World War II is humongous. There’s so much that had happened and you can’t take everything. You’ve to pick and choose things which would probably impact the journey of the characters and that’s precisely why it (World War II as a backdrop) has been taken. Hitler also happens to be a part of it and you can’t not have him in World War II.”
