Nine-year-old Ayaan Zubair Rahmani, who essays the function of the martyr's youth told us, "The place in the park where the encounter took place helped in infusing a sense of patriotism in me. A bust of Azad has been set up at the spot and the atmosphere there is so peaceful but this peace is the result of the sacrifice of freedom fighters like Azad."

The kid, a self-confessed fan of Azad, said that once visiting Allahabad, he in fact felt the duty that has been entrusted on him through the makers of the show.

Chandrasekhar Azad used to play with the catapult and his shot used to be on target."

He is a real hero."
