Vicky Kaushal impresses as Sardar Udham Singh; Watch trailer here!

Vicky Kaushal is teaming up with ‘October’ director Shoojit Sircar for the biopic of Sardar Udham Singh, an early 20th century revolutionary who was active in the Indian independence movement. The film’s trailer got released last day and it looks highly promising. Vicky Kaushal seems to have delivered a measured and intense performance.

Set in the pre-Independence era, the film follows Udham Singh, who was best known for his assassination of Michael O’ Dwyer, the former lieutenant governor of the Punjab in India. The assassination was in revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar. Singh was subsequently tried and convicted of murder and hanged.

‘Sardar Udham Singh’ is co-written by Ritesh Shah of ‘Pink’ fame and Shubendu Bhattacharya of ‘Madras Cafe’ fame. Shaun Scott, Stephen Hogan, Banita Sandhu and Kirsty Averton also star in it. Avik Mukhopadhyay is the cinematographer and music is by Shantanu Moitra.

The film is set to have its world premiere on Amazon Prime Video on October 16.
