Speaking at the event, Uddhav Thackeray said, "Eknath, I say this from the bottom of my heart, you and your team have done a great job! Making a movie is one thing but to make a movie on this subject and taking up the onus of taking this story ahead and making it reach the audience is admirable!"

Eknath Shinde shared, "This film about his life should reach our people who are all around the city and the world. Pravin Tarde the Director & Mangesh Desai the producer wished to make a movie on Dighe Ji and started working on it and it was during the working phase that the teaser & songs got very popular. I would like to appreciate the actor, Prasad Oak who played the role perfectly in spite of not meeting Dighe Ji. He has worked tremendously hard to get the right mannerisms, stance and gestures of Dighe Ji by learning from the people who have been around him and that is extremely commendable!"
