Mumbai, May 28: Today, May 28th, is the 139th birth anniversary of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. On the occasion, the makers of the film Swatantra Veer Savarkar have released the first look of Randeep Hooda portraying the character of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.
Randeep Hooda said in a social media post, “This is a salute to one of the tallest unsung heroes of India’s struggle for freedom and self-actualisation. I hope I can live up to the challenge of filling such big shoes of a true revolutionary and tell his real story which had been brushed under the carpet for so long.”
Savarkar was an advocate of Indian independence by revolutionary means. He is said to be one of the foremost pioneers of the Hindu nationalist political ideology.
The poster says, 'Hindutva Dharm Nahin, Itihaas Hai,’. The film will be going on floors in August 2022.
Filmmaker Sandeep Singh stated, “At a time when films of Harshad Mehta, Vijay Mallya, and Lalit Modi are trending, I am more interested in telling the story of Veer Savarkar’s life. He was the first dynamic hero of India and the only man who could have saved the Partition in 1947. Through this film, I, not only as a filmmaker, but most importantly as an Indian, want to tell the world the facts about Savarkar’s struggle."
"His courageous fight for freedom, his fearless persona which scared the British, and his commitment for Hindutva till his last breath is heavily inspiring. He is the most misunderstood hero and it is high time that we understand him, and moreover celebrate this rebel. He never got what he deserved and hence, I plead that Savarkar should be gracefully awarded with the Bharat Ratan and Nobel Prize.”

The director of the film, Mahesh Manjrekar, said, "People may have different versions in their mind for Savarkar but as a filmmaker, I’m trying to match the same thought which Savarkar had. The character of Savarkar in the film will not have any difference from what Savarkar was in real life. He was the iconic freedom fighter and we'll ensure that he's never forgotten ever by any Indian.”
