Sam Bahadur was announced way back in 2019 with Vicky’s first look in character and fans were amazed at his epic transformation. The film only went on floors this year with Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra joining the cast. Fatima will be seen playing the former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film.

Apart from Vicky playing Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in this biopic, in Kangana Ranaut led Emergency actor Milind Soman will also be seen playing the same character. The movie will also be releasing next year and is based on the life of Indira Gandhi.

Sam Bahadur is Meghna Gulzar’s next big directorial project after Raazi which was led by Alia Bhatt and also starred Vicky in a key role. Vicky has also played an army man in in the 2019 surprise hit Uri: The Surgical Strike which ultimately got him his very first National Film Award.
