A fascinating ride through the troughs and Crests of his journey, called life."

"Be the witness to the averment that shaped his life. Keep your eyes peeled as this tale of resilience and triumph reveals what is unspoken, unheard and unfathomed." "Quote: Regardless of what the world may think or say about Shri Subrata Roy, their perception is based solely on their lack of personal acquaintance with the man. Personally, I hold him in the highest regard, he has remained steadfast like an unyielding rock and gracefully faced all the allegation unlike other Indian business personalities. He is the only Indian who have returned staggering amount of Rs. 25,000 crores including interest to SEBI. I am sure justice will prevail soon," the caption read further.
The official announcement about the star cast of Saharasri is still awaited. "The script involved intensive years of research captivating stalwarts like A.R. Rahman, Gulzar and Sudipto Sen on board. Interestingly, whenever I discussed this film everyone showed enthusiasm but chickened out when it came to being a part of it. They were scared to be associated. But finally, my dream has come true as "SAHARASRI" is all set to roll soon," Sandeep said.
