The attack, the first of its kind in a major city in India, where terrorists took hostages in hotels and opened fire on the roads shook the entire nation. The nightmare ended after a 60-hour-long operation; one terrorist (Ajmal Kasab) survived and was arrested.

Ram Gopal Varma, along with Ritiesh Deshmukh had visited the Taj hotel after the attack, with an eye on making a film on the event (Ritiesh’s father Vilasrao Deshmukh was the Chief Minister then).

“My visit got a lot of flak. I did not realize then but I apologise for hurting people’s sentiments. I was only part of a group of 30 people who visited the Taj then and Vilasraoji did not even know that I was in the group,” said Varma.
