\u00ab Each of us made the film with love, and all we receive in return is love; the commercial aspect, deeply cynical, was never considered in our situation. We made this film because we loved Ayrton and you reciprocate that love. \u00bb thanks Eric Fellner, the film’s producer, after the award ceremony, before adding: \u00ab We must thank Ayrton for having a life that was, unfortunately, too short, but filled with events even more incredible than fiction. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab We would simply like to thank the Senna family for trusting us with handling his legacy \u00bb stated Manish Pandey, the feature film’s screenwriter. \u00ab When your son dies in such circumstances and a group of guys shows up saying: \u00ab Listen, we want to tell this story, it really touches us and we believe we will tell it accurately \u00bb, it takes guts to support them, and I would like to thank them for trusting us. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Stephen Fry, master of ceremonies and multi-talented artist \u2013 who notably plays the brother of the famous detective in the latest Sherlock Holmes<\/i> \u2013 had nothing but praise for the film: \u00ab Even if you know nothing about Formula One and are not even vaguely interested in motorsports, you will find that Senna<\/i> is one of the best documentaries you have ever seen. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
