Randeep Hooda on why he decided to do the film
Randeep Hooda told ANI recently, “This movie is based on his (Veer Savarkar) life, it is a story between 1897 and 1950. I have fearlessly handled all the misinformation regarding him. When this movie, came to me I realised that I don’t look like him and thus I lost weight for this film.”
While talking about the research work, he said, “When I started studying about him I realised I know nothing about him except that he went to Kala Pani. I also realised there are so many things about him that are neither taught to us in schools nor spoken in public. The moment his name is taken, people start making controversies. I was very angry and decided to this film. So many of my well-wishers told me that I am a good artist and if I do this film, I will be linked to a particular political party and political ideology… but then I did this film.”
