Actor Randeep Hooda will next be seen in the biopic film of freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The film, which is titled Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, comes with the taglines “India’s Most Influential Revolutionary” and “The Man Most Feared by the British.” The film is also set to mark the directorial debut for the actor and is also produced by him, along with Anand Pandit, Sandeep Singh, Sam Khan, and Yogesh Rahar.
The teaser of the film was released on the occasion of Veer Savarkar’s 140th birthday, with the teaser running for 1:13 minutes. Hooda goes on to say in the teaser that Mahatma Gandhi was not wrong, but had he not been stubborn on his principles of non-violence, India would have been independent 35 years earlier.
The teaser poses the question of who killed his story, as he was the inspiration for other revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh, Netaji, and Khudiram Bose.
Last year it was decided that director Mahesh Manjrekar will be directing the film, with Hood sharing the first look of the film, where he wrote “A salute to one of the tallest unsung heroes of India’s struggle for freedom & self-actualisation. hope I can live up to the challenge of filling such big shoes of a true revolutionary & tell his real story which had been brushed under the carpet for so long #VeerSavarkarJayanti”
The film is expected to show the true life of the misunderstood and forgotten hero of the Indian history. The film is expected to hit theatres later this year.
