Swatantrya Veer Savarakar teaser: Randeep Hooda plays the 'Most wanted Indian by British'

Bollywood star Randeep Hooda recently shared the teaser for his upcoming film, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar. The release of the teaser came on the occasion of this year’s Savarkar Jayanti, which marked the 140th birth anniversary of the Indian freedom fighter. In the teaser, Randeep Hooda is shown to be playing the titular role and is touted to be the ‘most wanted Indian by the British’.

The teaser for Swatantrya Veer Savarkar showed Randeep Hooda fully transformed in the guise of the pivotal freedom fighter. As the voiceover plays in the background speaking about the pre-Independence state of India, scenes featuring Savarkar’s character dressing himself, taking in a dive into the water and eventually being held prisoner accompany it. In one scene, Savarkar is seen speaking to the crowd about joining forces. In the end, a dialogue likening the fall of the British Raj to the fall of the Lanka Raj (from the Sanskrit epic Ramayana) can be heard.

Hooda took to social media to share the teaser. He shared a poster as well as the teaser on Twitter, and wrote about Veer Savarkar, “The inspiration behind revolutionaries like - Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Khudiram Bose and Bhagat Singh,” and added the hashtag #WhoKilledHisStory.
