Randeep Hooda’s “Savarkar” Trailer Out: Retells Freedom Fight

The trailer for the upcoming film “Swatantrya Veer Savarkar” was unveiled on March 4th. Directed by and starring Randeep Hooda as the titular revolutionary, the film goes beyond a standard biopic, aiming to be an “epic and daring retelling of India’s armed revolution for independence,” according to a press release.

Packed with action and powerful dialogue, the trailer opens with Hooda’s Savarkar walking through the Cellular Jail (Kaala Paani) and delivers a striking line: “Hum sabne padha hai ki Bharat ko aazadi ahinsa se mili hai lekin yeh voh kahaani nahi hai (We have all read that India attained freedom through non-violence, but this is not that story).” The trailer hints at the struggles and sacrifices of Savarkar and others who fought for India’s independence through armed resistance.

“Swatantrya Veer Savarkar” hits theaters on March 22nd, 2024.
