Union Minister Promotes "Veer Savarkar"

Finally something happened in favor of a pro-BJP film. Union Minister Piyush Goyal attended the Mumbai screening of 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar,' starring Randeep Hooda.

Goyal emphasized Savarkar's undoubted patriotism and condemning politicians who forsake his ideology for political gain by citing Uddhav Thackeray as an example.

Directed by Hooda, the film transcends a mere biopic delving into India's armed struggle for independence through Savarkar's journey.

The narrative unfolds between 1897 and 1950 shedding light on Savarkar's overlooked aspects, challenging misconceptions.

Hooda, who underwent physical transformation to resemble Savarkar, aimed to rectify misinformation surrounding the freedom fighter.

Despite concerns about political affiliations, Hooda remained resolute in his decision to depict Savarkar's story truthfully.

Produced by Zee Studios, Anand Pandit, Sandeep Singh, Randeep Hooda, and Yogesh Rahar, with co-producers Roopa Pandit, Sam Khan, Anwar Ali, and Panchali Chakraborty, the film stars Randeep Hooda, Ankita Lokhande, and Amit Sial.

Released on March 22 in Hindi and Marathi, the film promises a bold retelling of Savarkar's role in India's struggle for independence.
