Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, whose upcoming movie Tashkent Files is set to release during the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, says only an "idiot or a guilty person" can call the movie a propaganda and that it is about a "citizen's right to truth".

The film, which raises questions about former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri's mysterious death, is scheduled to hit the screens on April 12, a day after the seven-phased general elections commence. Why was such a time chosen to release this film?
