"As a team we always make movies to bring it to the audience. We are glad today onwards it (the film) is open to you all to view. We hope you appreciate the efforts of the team," Aishwarya told reporters here at the premiere of 'Sarbjit' last night.
"It's a very sincere piece of cinema straight from the heart. As a team, it's important to us that this film has been made sensitively keeping in mind the sensitivity of the subject and the members of the family," she said.
