In a highly anticipated comeback to the silver screen, Ankita Lokhande, renowned for her stint on Bigg Boss 17 and securing the third runner-up position, is set to grace Bollywood with a pivotal role in Randeep Hooda’s directorial debut, “Swatantrya Veer Savarkar.” The historical biopic is gearing up for a theatrical release on March 22, 2024.
Randeep Hooda, acclaimed for his roles in films such as Sultan and Highway, not only stars in the titular role but also marks his directorial venture with this ambitious project. “Swatantrya Veer Savarkar” delves into the life of Veer Savarkar, a key figure in India’s fight for freedom. The film, releasing in both Hindi and Marathi, aims to pay homage to the legendary freedom fighter.
Hooda shared the exciting news via a date announcement clip, where he expressed, “Two heroes of Indian Independence Struggle; One celebrated and One removed from History. On #MartyrsDay 2024 – HISTORY WILL BE REWRITTEN #SwatantryaVeerSavarkar IN CINEMAS ON 22nd March, 2024.”
The clip features a captivating transformation from a sketch resembling Mahatma Gandhi to Veer Savarkar, accompanied by a lively Marathi track. A poignant voiceover declares, “Mujhe Gandhi se nahi, ahinsa se nafrat hai” (I do not hate Gandhi, but non-violence).
With the film’s release date set, audiences are eagerly awaiting this cinematic tribute to an unsung hero, and Ankita Lokhande’s return to the big screen adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming cinematic experience.
