On the
birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Vicky Kaushal has dropped the teaser
of his upcoming film Sardar Udham on his Instagram account. Sardar
Udham is a biopic film of india’s Great Freedom fighter Shaheed Sardar
Udham Singh.
Directed by
Shoojit Sircar and is produced by Ritesh Shah and Shubhendu Bhattacharya the
film is based on the horrific historical event of Jallianwala Bagh in which Vicky
will be seen as Sardar Udham Singh who was the brain behind the assassination
of British General Michael O'Dwyer who was sole responsible for the deadly carnage.
This incident took place in 1919 and thousands of people were killed by the British
army.
The Shooting
of this film was got over in December 2019 but due to pandemic situations in india
Shoojit Sircar took almost two years for post-production. Earlier Vicky has shared photo of himself in a Sardar Udham singh’s Look on social media and
now shared the teaser of the film. The film is said to be a big budget biopic
film and has big scale production along with the OTT release. Film will be
aired on Amazon Prime Video.
This is not
the first time that the film has been made on Sardar Udham singh. in 2000, film on
similar story had been made in Punjabi cinema with title of Shaheed Udham
Singh in which Raj Babbar had played the role of Sardar Udham singh
and along with Gurudas maan, Juhi Chawla & Amresh puri was also seen in the
film. Since it was made in Punjabi very niche group of audience knows about the
film and now after 21 years the film has been made in national language to
reach larger set of audience which is necessary for all the Indians to know about
their freedom fighters specially the Youth of India.
The Official
trailer of the film will be launched on the 30th September 2021 in Mumbai
along with the key people of the film including the lead actor Vicky Kaushal
and the film will be released digitally on Amazon prime video on 16th
October 2021. The Assassination which shook British empire will be interesting to
watch in the form of cinema. Along with Vicky we will be seeing Banita Sandhu (British
actress primarily works on Indian films), Chiranjeevi, Athiya Shetty and Amol Parashar
(who will be playing the role of Shaheed Bhagat Singh) in the film.
Well, it
seems like Vicky loves plying patriotic roles or he is getting only these kinds
of roles after the grand success of the Films like URI and Raazi. Vicky is also
working on the Meghna Gulzar’s upcoming film “SAM” in which Vicky will
be seen in playing the role of Sam Manekshaw who was the first field
marshal of India, this film is produced by Ronnie screwvala.
