Mumbai, Nov 9 (IANS) Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming streaming series ‘Freedom at Midnight’, has shared that he got an interesting insight about the first Congress Presidential voting after the show was put together.
Nikkhil spoke with IANS, and shared that he got to know that the voting wasn’t unanimous in favour of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel but there was one vote cast in favour of Jawaharlal Nehru.
He told IANS, “I met somebody, who was very close to Maniben Patel, the daughter of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. And she told me that, ‘You guys got it wrong because it says unanimous. Sardar wasn’t nominated unanimously’. She said it was not unanimous. There was one person who voted for Nehru”.
And guess who the person was to cast the vote in favour of Nehru? It was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel himself.
The director further mentioned, “It was Sardar. Sardar voted for Nehru. So it’s very interesting. They were just fantastic people. I hope we have done justice to that”.
