Sam Bahadur will debut in theaters on December 1. Meghna Gulzar, Bhavani Iyer, and Shantanu Shrivastava wrote it. Produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies, the film was shot in several locations, including Delhi, Punjab, and Kashmir. Vicky's tremendously popular 2019 movie Uri: The Surgical Strike was initially produced by RSVP.
"I remember when Meghna and I were working on Raazi, then during a shooting schedule in Patiala she told me what she wanted to do next. And she said she wants to make a film on Sam Manekshaw," Kaushal said.
"My mother and father are both from Punjab, and through them, I had heard a lot about him. But I didn't know how he looked. So during that conversation, I secretly Googled him and saw his photo. I said, 'He is very handsome and I will not get this role.' But I have to thank Meghna for giving me the role of this handsome person," he added.
Sam Bahadur, according to the film's creators, will cover Manekshaw's more than 40-year career, which included important turning points including serving in World conflict II and leading the Army Staff during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan conflict that resulted in the formation of Bangladesh.
Playing the part was not easy for Kaushal, he said. "It is the toughest role of my life, not because of the way he talked and walked but because of the man he was. This was an attempt to live that life. It is obviously a team effort," he added.
