Mumbai: Director Vivek Agnihotri says it was filmaker Vikram Bhatt who inspired him to make 'Freedom'.
'Freedom' is a socio-political saga set in the backdrop of 1970s to 2000s. It features Salman Yusuf Khan in the lead.
"I always wanted to make 'Freedom', but I had to drop the idea due to financial crisis. I would have never made an erotic thriller like 'Hate Story' if I had finance for 'Freedom'. Vikram gave me 'Hate Story' as a challenge. Apart from Vikram, one of my friends also encouraged me to make a film on this subject," Agnihotri told IANS.
