Randeep Hooda is one of the industry's most gifted actors. He's given a number of remarkable performances and wowed audiences with his range on the big screens. Always managing to wow one all with the lengths he goes to for his roles, today, on the 139th birthday of independence hero Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, the actor shared the first look of his upcoming biographical film Swatantra Veer Savarkar on social media. As seen, he plays the man Veer Savarkar himself.

Randeep captioned the first glance on Instagram: "This is a salute to one of the tallest unsung heroes of India’s struggle for freedom and self-actualisation. I hope I can live up to the challenge of filling such big shoes of a true revolutionary and tell his real story which had been brushed under the carpet for so long.. Wishing you all a very Happy #VeerSavarkarJayanti!"

The Highway actor moulds himself in the look of Savarkar in a sepia-toned outfit for the poster. Savarkar's cap, round-rimmed glasses, and moustache are all included. 'Hindutva Dharm Nahin, Itihaas Hai,' reads the text on the poster. Mahesh Manjrekar is directing the film, which will begin filming in August 2022.
