A very happy #VeerSavarkarJayanti to all of you!”

The film will be released soon. Sandeep Singh is producing it, while Mahesh Manjrekar is directing it.
In a recent interview, film producer Sandeep Singh stated that he wants to convey the biography of Veer Savarkar because he believes he is India’s “first dynamic hero and the only guy who could have stopped the Partition in 1947.” Meanwhile, the biopic’s director has stated that the film will depict the freedom fighter exactly as he was in real life.
Savarkar, a Hindu nationalist organization and political party, was born in Maharashtra in 1883 and was a key figure in the Hindu Mahasabha. He was a Hindu nationalist political doctrine known as Hindutva that he established as a writer, activist, and politician.
Randeep was last seen as Rana in the film ‘Radhe.’ Following that, he will appear in Balwinder Singh Janjua’s film ‘Unfair and Lovely.’
