Randeep Hooda’s Instagram post highlights the purpose and perspective of the film

As for Randeep Hooda, his caption explained the intent of the film. To showcase the perspective and struggle of the hero “removed from history” despite his invaluable contributions and constant resistance against India’s British colonization. The short announcement clip inquired whether Veer Savarkar (Vinayak Damodar Sarvarkar) is a traitor, a terrorist, or a hero?

The clip features a glimpse of Randeep Hooda bearing an uncanny resemblance with the historic and controversial Hindu political leader, who was proud of his ancient history and origin. A voiceover is heard declaring that the Indian independence activist did not have a problem with Gandhi, he had a problem with Ahimsa, here indicating non-struggle and peaceful protest against foreign colonial power while they desiccate our culture and heritage.

Swatantrya Veer Savarkar promises to be a thrilling and taut watch, especially if the freedom fighter’s life and autobiography are anything to go by. From leading protests against the British for India in London itself, to spending a decade undergoing nerve-wracking labour and torture in Cellular Jail, Savarkar had endured a lot during the freedom struggle. The life of the man once unjustly accused of plotting to kill Gandhi deserves a watch, especially with Randeep Hooda helming it.
