The makers released the Poster of the film on their social media. At the center is lead actor Subodh Bhave, portrayed as a contemplative and determined father, his hands clenched in thought, seated against a backdrop of a massive wall of books symbolizing both knowledge and the weight of history. Standing in front of him is his daughter in uniform, evoking innocence and the next generation whose perception of history is at stake. The tagline 'Brainwashed by history textbooks' underlines the film's central theme.
Director Manpreet Singh Dhami shared, 'This is not just a film for me- it's my passion project, something I have lived and breathed for over four years. Before a single frame was shot, I spent years researching, reading, questioning, and shaping the core of this story. It emerged from a place of deep personal curiosity and concern about what we're taught, what we choose to remember, and how those narratives shape our identity as a society. I believe the film will strike a chord with anyone who has ever questioned the truth they've been handed. I truly cannot wait for the audience - the janta, to witness it on the big screen and hopefully walk away with questions, insights, and a renewed sense of inquiry."
Produced by Manpreet Singh Dhami, founder of Panchkarma Films, the movie brings together a compelling narrative, powerful performances, and a timely message that resonates with the current social climate. His Story of Itihaas is more than just a film - it is a bold statement about education, legacy, and the fight for truth in a world where narratives are often manipulated.

Rekha Bhardwaj expresses that singing an item number wouldn't make her feel cheap: "A song can be sensuous and still be dignified..."
Rekha Bhardwaj , the melodious singer, gave insights about the aesthetic of a song and the magical resonance that the melody leaves behind for the soul. Recently, she sang the 'Thaal' song for the film 'His Story Of Itihaas' starring Subodh Bhave and Akanksha Pandey . Rekha Bhardwaj's 'Thaal' In a conversation with News18 Showsha, Rekha recalled the beautiful journey of the track. Calling it a nostalgic and culturally rich piece rooted in tradition, Bhardwaj stated that 'Thaal' is based on the tradition between a groom and a bride, where they put their hands in a clay pot filled with water and small objects to play a game. 'It's competitive but romantic – especially in arranged marriages,' she added. 'The melody has a monotony that's folk-like – it just flows. I really enjoyed singing it, especially because the lyrics are so intimate,' Rekha stated while expressing the core emotions of 'Thaal.' Vishal Bhardwaj encouraged her... Furthermore, the 61-year-old opened up about finding the mischievous side of the song. 'It took me very long to rediscover that mischievous, naughty side of me through song. I had lost all confidence when I was first asked to sing it. But Vishal [Bhardwaj] believed in me. He played back a recording of me singing it casually one night and said, 'Only you can sing this.' That gave me the push I needed,' she said. Realising her potential, Rekha said that it was difficult to get work before it, but that song changed her perspective. 'I can say this with pride – I am a really great singer when it comes to songs rooted in classical and folk traditions,' she said. "Anything that lacks aesthetics is mediocre" Subsequently, Rekha expressed how aesthetics define the artistic value of a piece. 'Anything that lacks aesthetics is mediocre. Art is about aesthetics – whether it's music, dance, or visual storytelling.' She revealed that if she can't feel the song, she can't sing it as well as the song needs to resonate with her. "A song can be sensuous and still be dignified" Whether Bhardwaj would sing a song simply depends on aesthetics, irrespective of any genre. For her, singing an item song wouldn't make her feel cheap, as it is a part of cultural expression. "It's not about the form- it's about how it's executed. A song can be sensuous and still be dignified. Just look at Lataji's Aa Jaane Jaan – those kind of songs had grace, not vulgarity," she stated. She ended her conversation by saying, "For me, any song is like a prayer, an offering through melody and emotion.

It was a learning experience for me personally too.' He believes that there is a profound difference between reading history in school and truly understanding it. 'As Manpreet says in the film, reading history is one thing, but connecting with it—really understanding it—makes us feel closer to our ancestors. That connection is very important,' he added.
