Vicky Kaushal is gearing up for his highly anticipated film, “Sam Bahadur,” and on Tuesday, the cast and makers released the eagerly-awaited trailer. This period film stars Vicky as Sam Manekshaw, the charismatic war hero, and also features Fatima Sana Shaikh as the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, and Sanya Malhotra as Silloo, Sam’s wife. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, “Sam Bahadur” promises to be an intense and gripping biopic, portraying the life of India’s first Field Marshal. Vicky Kaushal, known for his incredible performances, transforms into Sam Manekshaw, complete with his distinctive handlebar mustache, in the film.
The trailer builds on the teaser released last month and depicts Vicky bringing to life every inch of India’s legendary war hero. He is seen giving a tough talk to his fellow armymen, while also standing up against high-profile leaders, including Indira Gandhi, the then-prime minister. The film is set in the late 1960s and early ’70s, showcasing the challenges and triumphs of this remarkable military figure. “Sam Bahadur” is the story of a man who dedicated his life to the Indian Army and to his nation. Vicky Kaushal shared a new poster on Instagram along with the caption, “This is the story about the man, who dedicated his life to the Indian Army, to the nation. Trailer out tomorrow! Sam Bahadur in cinemas 1.12.2023.”
The poster features Vicky in an Army uniform, walking alongside his soldiers. The release date for the film is scheduled for December 1st. The film is written by Bhavani Iyer, Shantanu Shrivastava, and Meghna Gulzar. It was shot in various locations, including Punjab, Kashmir, and Delhi. Produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP Movies, who previously backed Vicky’s blockbuster “Uri: The Surgical Strike” in 2019, “Sam Bahadur” promises to be a cinematic masterpiece. However, it will also face tough competition at the box office, as it will clash with Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer “Animal.”
