Mumbai-based Das, an unsung hero of India's freedom struggle knocked for 32 years on 321 doors, climbed 66,000 steps, wrote 1,043 letters, pleaded 2,300 times in the post-Independent India just to prove that he was the same Gour Hari Das, whom Mahatma Gandhi had blessed and who was jailed for being a part of the freedom movement against the British Raj.
Das's answer to a question during an interview after the film was released.
How do you keep yourself occupied. I work as a Special Executive Officer (earlier Magistrate) and attest copies of original documents. I only charge for the ink I use. I'm a life member of an NGO - National Anti-Corruption and Crime Prevention Council (NACCPC), along with Mohan Krishnan. Besides, I'm involved in social work and out of my Rs 10,000 pension amount, I donate Rs 8,000 for social causes like treatment of children suffering from cancer, old age home, religious institution, etc.
