"Sardar Udham", based on the life of the titular revolutionary who later assassinated the then former Punjab governor Michael O'Dwyer in London, has been garnering critical acclaim from critics and viewers alike since its release on Prime Video earlier this month.
Shoojit Sircar said making a film on Udham Singh was a challenge as there was not much information about his life beyond Michael O'Dwyer's assassination in 1940. Written by Ritesh Shah and Shubhendu Bhattacharya, "Sardar Udham" will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on October 16.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, Vicky Kaushal starrer Sardar Udham Singh is produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar and is set to release on Amazon Prime Video during Dussehra on October 16.
Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal is all set to unravel the intriguing life of the legendary Indian revolutionary, Sardar Udham Singh. The film delves deep into his boundless courage to avenge the death of his countrymen, in an event that shook the British Empire.
Sircar started nurturing the dream to make a film on Sardar Udham Singh while he was still doing theatre in Delhi. It was an idea that struck him during an emotional visit to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre site in the 1990s, he said.
The makers of the upcoming movie 'Sardar Udham' unveiled the trailer of the film on Friday. Bollywood heartthrob Vicky Kaushal looked every inch convincing as he plays the title role in the film. Produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, and directed by Shoojit Sircar, the movie also stars Shaun Scott, Stephen Hogan, Banita Sandhu and Kirsty Averton in pivotal roles and Amol Parashar in a special appearance.
Shoojit Sircar said he does not view opting for a digital release for his upcoming feature "Sardar Udham" as a "mistake" because the decision was taken keeping in mind the best interest of the film.
"Deep6" is set in 2011 Kolkata and also stars Sumeet Thakur, Maya Ghosh, Sumanta Mukherjee and Soumitra Chatterjee, who makes a posthumous appearance in the movie.
Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar has collaborated with late actor Irrfan Khan's son Babil for a project, the makers announced on Saturday. Khan, who passed away last year in April, shared an equation beyond that of an actor-director with Sircar.
On the special occasion of Pohela Boishakh also known as Bengali New Year, many celebrities Bipasha Basu, Shoojit Sircar, Nusrat Jahan and Sarod Maestro Amjad Ali Khan sent their warm wishes.
Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29 last year after suffering colon infection. He had also battled neuroendrocrine cancer and received treatment in the UK, before he came back to India in February 2020.
Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar wished Deepika Padukone on her birthday, and also shared advanced wishes for late Irrfan Khan in the same post. While Deepika turned 35 on Tuesday, January 7 will mark Irrfan's first birth anniversary since he passed away in April last year.
Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar says Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most fascinating actors to work with.
.Shoot for the film, which was shot in Russia, was completed on December 27 last year and was awaiting post-production work before the lockdown started. Now, the director is on a mission to complete his film.
Shoojit Sircar's Instagram page currently reads the message, "Restricted profile. You must be 99 years old or over to see this profile."
In "Gulabo Sitabo", Amitabh Bachchan looks unrecognisable as Mirza, and Chaturvedi said the reference for the look came from her own understanding and a portrait of an old man by a Russian artist provided by film's cinematographer Avik Mukhopadhyay.
Director Shoojit Sircar says his period film "Sardar Udham Singh", which stars Vicky Kaushal in the title role, has not been hugely affected by the coronavirus pandemic, adding that he plans to start with the post production work on the project soon.
As Bollywood filmmaker Shoojit Sircar's quirky comedy film Gulabo Sitabo, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana releases on Amazon Prime worldwide, Twitterverse is exploding with comments and reactions.
With only two days to go for Gulabo Sitabo's digital release, this clip will surely leave you more excited to witness the journey of Baankey aka Ayushmann Khurrana and Mirza aka Amitabh Bachchan.
