Randeep Hooda, who unveiled the book globally and shared his personal connection to its origin, said, "I clearly remember when my friend Jay called me from outside Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s house in London two years ago. He was deeply moved and told me, ‘The world knows Sardar as the Iron Man of India and the unifier of our nation but very few know about his brilliance as a student, his intelligence, and his journey as a world-class barrister.’

"I told him right then, ‘You must write that story.’ That’s how the title Barrister Mr. Patel was born. I’m so proud that through this book, the new generation will learn about the knowledge, courage, and sacrifices of our freedom fighters who shaped modern India."

Randeep has previously worked with Jay Patel in Hooda's directorial Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, where Jay played the role of Shyamji Krishna Verma , an Indian revolutionary and founder of India House.
