At the teaser launch of Sam Bahadur, Vicky Kaushal said that it’s a huge responsibility to be donning the Indian Army uniform and stepping into the shows of Sam Manekshaw. He also said that he hopes he can do justice to the role. “When you get directors like Meghna Gulzar, she doesn’t just let you stop at getting into the skin of the character, but makes you meet the soul of the character. I have heard so many stories of Field Marshal Manekshaw from my mom and dad, so it’s grateful and fortunate to have gotten the chance to see the story through his eyes in the film. Really looking forward to the film. I hope I have justified the legend,” he said.
The film also stars Fatima Sana Sheikh as Indira Gandhi and Sanya Malhotra as Sam Manekshaw’s wife Siloo. Sam Bahadur is all set to release worldwide on 1st December, 2023, on the silver screens.
