Actor Randeep Hooda will play the role of freedom fighter and Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar in a biopic on him. Titled ‘Swatantra Veer Savarkar’, the film will be directed by Mahesh V Manjrekar and produced by Anand Pandit and Sandeep Singh. The makers said in a statement on Wednesday that ‘Swatantra Veer Savarkar’ will throw a different light on the Indian independence movement. The shooting of the film is expected to begin in June 2022 and will be shot in various locations including London, Maharashtra and Andaman-Nicobar Islands. He said it will be “another challenging role” for him as an actor.
He said, ‘There are many heroes who have played their part in getting us our freedom. However, not everyone has got their due. Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was the most misunderstood of these unsung heroes. They have been popular and influential and their story needs to be told. I am glad to work with Sandeep for Swatantra Veer Savarkar after Sarabjit.
Manjrekar said it is important that stories that were overlooked in the past are told. The filmmaker said, Swatantra Veer Savarkar will be a cinematic narrative that will force us to rethink our history. I look forward to collaborating with Sandeep Singh, and I am glad that we are doing this film together.
