The recently released trailer of 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar' has claimed that he inspired freedom fighters like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and Khudiram Bose. Reacting to this, Netaji's grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose said, "This (the film) is an attempt to distort history. It will pass on the wrong facts to today's generation."
