“When the queen was here, I was asked to act a scene in front of her. Traditionally, we shoot a scene for traditional reasons that don’t make for an actual film. But, I didn’t want to do that. So I spoke a dialogue which my ancestors could not speak in front of him. Certainly, this could not have been spoken 70 years ago. If I had said that in 1923 I would have died in jail. But, when I finished the scene, he said to me ‘Wasn’t this the Seattle speech?’ I was taken aback,” Kamal had stated in an interview.
