Randeep Hooda Unveils His First Look As Swatantra Veer Savarkar on Latter's 139th Birth Anniversary
Randeep Hooda unveiled the first look of his upcoming film Swantrata Veer Savarkar on the occasion of the politician's birth anniversary.

Today, May 28 marks the 139th birth anniversary of the great freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. On this joyous occasion, the makers of the film have released the first look of Randeep Hooda portraying the powerful character of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Randeep took to his Instagram handle and launched the poster and his first look from the film. The Highway actor also penned a note on the occasion of the revolutionary leader’s birth anniversary.

The actor also posted a motion posted from the film featuring him in the role of Vinayak Savarkar. Randeep wrote, “This is a salute to one of the tallest unsung heroes of India’s struggle for freedom and self-actualisation. I hope I can live up to the challenge of filling such big shoes of a true revolutionary and tell his real story which had been brushed under the carpet for so long.”

Filmmaker Sandeep Singh shared his thoughts on the film. He said, “At a time when films of Harshad Mehta, Vijay Mallya, and Lalit Modi are trending, I am more interested in telling the story of Veer Savarkar’s life. He was the first dynamic hero of India and the only man who could have saved the Partition in 1947. Through this film, I, not only as a filmmaker, but most importantly as an Indian, want to tell the world the facts about Savarkar’s struggle. His courageous fight for freedom, his fearless persona which scared the British, and his commitment to Hindutva till his last breath is heavily inspiring. He is the most misunderstood hero and it is high time that we understand him, and moreover celebrate this rebel. He never got what he deserved and hence, I plead that Savarkar should be gracefully awarded the Bharat Ratan and Nobel Prize.”

Producer Anand Pandit, shared, “Randeep has time and again showcased his skill set as an actor and moreover, shown that he can transform into the character he portrays. But in case of Savarkar, there is an added dynamic because of his uncanny resemblance to the freedom fighter. I am a lover of history and excited to have the cinematic privilege to bring to 70 mm the story of a leader whose story must be told.”

Mahesh Manjrekar who has directed the film said, “People may have different versions in their mind for Savarkar but as a filmmaker, I’m trying to match the same thought which Savarkar had. So, the character of Savarkar in the film will not have any different from what Savarkar was in real life. He was the iconic freedom fighter and we’ll ensure that he’s never forgotten ever by any Indian.”

SwatantraVeer Savarkar is presented by Anand Pandit Motion Pictures and Legend Studios and produced by Anand Pandit, Sandeep Singh and Sam Khan, Co-Produced by Roopa Pandit and Zafar Mehdi.
