Actor Randeep Hooda will play freedom fighter and Hindutva ideologue Veer Savarkar in an upcoming biographical film.
Titled ‘Swatantra Veer Savarkar’, the movie will be directed by filmmaker Mahesh V Manjrekar and produced by Anand Pandit and Sandeep Singh.
“’Swatantra Veer Savarkar’ will highlight India’s freedom movement from a different spectrum, the makers said in a statement on Wednesday.
The film is expected to go on floors in June 2022 and will be shot across various locations in London, Maharashtra, and Andaman & Nicobar Islands, PTI reported from Mumbai.
Hooda, who previously worked with Singh for the 2016 movie ‘Sarbjit’, said portraying Savarkar will be “yet another challenging role” for him as an actor.
‘Swatantra Veer Savarkar’ is produced by Anand Pandit from Anand Pandit Motion Pictures and Sandeep Singh and Sam Khan from Legend Studios.
It is co-produced by Roopa Pandit and Jay Pandya.
