The biopic of Hindutva philosopher V D Savarkar, SwatantryaVeer Savarkar, starring actor Randeep Hooda, has begun filming, the actor said on Monday. Hooda, who plays the title role in the movie, makes his directorial debut with it as well. The movie’s director had previously been announced as filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar.
The actor, who has appeared in films like Highway, Sarbjit, and Sultan, shared the news on Twitter and described working on the upcoming movie as a “great moment” for him. “Lights, Camera HISTORY! Starting shoot for my next, @anandpandit & @officialsandipssingh’s #SwatantryaVeerSavarkar. The film is slated to release on 26th May, 2023 on the occasion of #VeerSavarkar’s 140th birth anniversary @directorsamkhan,” Hooda tweeted.
Utkarsh Naithani and Hooda co-wrote the script for SwatantryaVeer Savarkar, which was produced by Anand Pandit Motion Pictures and Legend Studios. Along with Roopa Pandit and Zafar Mehdi attached to co-produce, Anand Pandit, Sandeep Singh, and Sam Khan are listed as producers.
Pandit thinks Hooda is the ideal choice to portray the movie’s title role.
In a statement, he stated, “Our movie also has Randeep as a director, and that makes me feel proud.” Singh continued, “I feel fortunate and honoured to be making this movie. On May 26, 2023, the movie is expected to be released.
