While releasing the book, Akshay Kumar stated that he had a close relationship with both Dara Singh and his actor son Vindu and Amrik since like Dara Singh, his own father Hari Om Bhatia also was a wrestler and he remembered the good old days when he used to accompany his father to Vallabh Bhai Patel Stadium to watch Dara Singh’s wrestling matches.

Akshay recollected that he remembered a myth about Daraji that there was a Trishul on his back and whenever he gets angry, his third eye will open.

On spotting Gurbachan Singh and Mohan Baggad in the audience, Akshay turned emotional and said that Mohan Baggad was the first fight composer with whom he worked in the industry and his first fight scene in the same film was with Gurbachan Singh.

 Answering a question whether he would like to be part of a biopic on Dara Singh, Akshay Kumar joked that if Vindu persisted and pushed him he was ready to act in such a huge biopic but it will entail a lot of preparation including working on his body to play the part and he would need a year or two to get into that kind of frame.

Vindu confessed that as a child, he was very weak till he passed out of eighth standard and his father put him to exercise and building his body and before the end of school he was the strongest due to his father Dara Singh. He also praised Akshay for being a doting dad and was sure that Aarav will be a huge superstar due to hard work and training that his father will ensure happens.
