Sardar Udham Singh: Amol Parashar Joins The Vicky Kaushal Starrer, To Play Bhagat Singh

It has been quite some time since Sardar Udham Singh had been announced. Helmed by Shoojit Sircar, it will have Vicky Kaushal play the titular role. A portion of the shot had already been wrapped up, even before the pandemic had hit, and now, we have learnt that there will be a new member joining the cast. It is none other than Amol Parashar.

In fact, it is being reported that the Tripling actor would play the role of Bhagat Singh in the film. A source told ETimes, “The team met Amol and was convinced that he would fit the part perfectly. Shoojit wants to show Bhagat Singh in a more realistic manner — as a sharp and intelligent young man who had a lightness to him at the same time. The actor had many conversations with the director and also read a lot of literature on Bhagat, including those written by the brave martyr himself as a young revolutionary.”

The news has been confirmed by Amol himself and it would be interesting to see him in this avatar! The film revolves around the revolutionary man, the freedom fighter Udham Singh, who had assassinated Michael O'Dwyer in London to avenge the Jallianwala Bagh massacre where thousands of innocents had been ruthlessly killed. Not much is known about the rest of the cast too. The film is slated to release in the later half of the year.
