Producers Sandeep Singh and Anand Pandit have begun the shoot of Swatantrya Veer Savarkar in full swing with Randeep Hooda making his directorial and writing debut helming the film.

Hooda has played the lead in several biopics in the past in Main Aur Charles and Sarabjit.

Producer Anand Pandit says, “There couldn’t have been any actor other than Randeep Hooda to do absolute justice to this role. Plus, our film has Randeep as a director too and that makes me feel proud.”

Producer Sandeep Singh says, “It’s a matter of pride for us that Randeep Hooda is making his mark as a director with our film, besides playing the lead. I want every Indian, especially the young generation, to know our history. Veer Savarkar’s contribution to our country’s freedom has been tremendous. He was a true freedom fighter and that will be showcased in our film. I feel privileged and honoured to be making this film.”

SwatantryaVeer Savarkar will be shot in Maharashtra and London.
