Irrfan Khan Was The Original Choice For Sardar Udham Singh, Shoojit Sircar Wants The Film To Be An Ode To The Late Actor

After the constant lockdown, finally, the Maharashtra Chief Minister has allowed some respite for the shootings in B’Town albeit with some strict guidelines.

Director Shoojit Sircar kicked off the post-production of the Vicky Kaushal starrer film, Sardar Udham Singh on Monday. The entire film completed the shoot in the month of February, much before the lockdown was announced. That was the time when Gulabo Sitabo was all set to release that he had come back to Mumbai.

It was during an interaction with Mid-Day he stated, "Gulabo Sitabo was ready before the lockdown; all I did was deliver the film. The work on Udham Singh was halted due to the [suspension of shoots]. Now, we are adhering by the guidelines as we proceed. The future at work won't be easy. Shooting is best done in utter chaos. A film can't be shot with constraints; it needs human interaction. But the virus is here to stay. So, we have to realign our methods."
