The makers of biopic Swatantra Veer Savarkar released the first look of the film on the occasion of the birth anniversary of the Hindutva icon.
Starring Randeep Hooda in the lead role, the film, directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, will go on floors in August 2022 and is expected to release by December 2023, ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
While social media was abuzz with comments on the striking similarity between Mr. Hooda and Savarkar, producer Sandeep Singh told The Hindu that “when there could be films on Dawood Ibrahim, Harshad Mehta and Lalit Modi, why should we not celebrate a freedom fighter.”
