Kaushal posted a video on Instagram on Saturday, the beginning anniversary of the late Area Marshal, to make the announcement.

“I had always heard stories about Sam Bahadur from my parents, who hail from Punjab and have seen the 1971 war, but when I read the script I was completely blown away. He is a hero and patriot who is still remembered and loved to this day, and capturing his spirit in the film is of the highest importance to me,” stated Kaushal.

Area Marshal Sam Manekshaw’s navy profession spanned 4 a long time and 5 wars.

“He was a soldier’s soldier and a gentleman’s gentleman. They don’t make men like Sam Bahadur anymore. I’m so honoured to be telling his story with (producer) Ronnie Screwvala and the incredibly talented Vicky Kaushal. On the Field Marshal’s birth anniversary, his story has got its name. I couldn’t be happier,” stated Gulzar.

Kaushal’s first look within the biopic was launched in 2019, as a tribute to the Area Marshal on his demise anniversary. Final yr, the makers unveiled the re-assessment.

“We are excited and honoured to unfold the story of one of our greatest heroes and announce the title ‘Sam Bahadur’ on the occasion of his birth anniversary. A great man was born today and we hope to do everything in our power to honour his memory and legacy,” says producer Ronnie Screwvala.
