In the midst of an election season, actor Randeep Hooda brings the controversial figure of Veer Savarkar to life in his latest film 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar'. With convincing performances and a polarized narrative, the 178-minute film portrays Savarkar as the father of the armed rebellion for Indian independence and paints the Congress as the villain that kept him from deserving glory. While the film highlights Savarkar's contributions to the nationalist cause and his rationalist outlook, it also overlooks or distorts certain historical truths, raising questions about the accuracy of the depiction.
Actor Randeep Hooda, known for his roles in movies such as Highway, Sarbjit and Sultan, has announced the release date for his directorial debut, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, a biopic of revolutionary freedom fighter V D Savarkar. The film, also starring Ankita Lokhande and Amit Sial, is set to hit theatres on March 22, 2024, and aims to shed light on the neglected yet legendary story of Savarkar's life.
