Randeep expressed his gratitude in his caption, saying, "Not only is it an honour to be recognised by the Mangeshkar family who are an epitome of art and culture for generations but also a testament to the story told and the persona created because the family knew #SwatantryaVeerSavarkar very closely. Master Deenanath Mangeshkar not only did one of Veer Savarkar’s plays as a producer, actor, director, but also participated in the inter caste reforms initiated by #VeerSavarkar."
He added, "Hridaynath Mangeshkar ji was fired from All India Radio for composing Veer Savarakars Poems into songs. Lata ji felt he was like a father figure who encouraged her to stick to singing when she started participating in other activities. I want to thank the Mangeshkar family and the Master Deenanath Mangeshkar trust for bestowing this love and a great honour upon me."
