Vicky mentioned that he is not only excited but also honored to be playing such a role. He feels it’s a big responsibility to play such a character. He believes Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw is a great legend that the country has produced.
The film would go on floors in 2021. The actor also mentions that although he didn’t get the opportunity to witness the greatness and achievements of the Marshall, his parents would tell him all about how he was a fearless, bold and competent leader.
Sam will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala, written by Bhavani Iyer of Raazi and Shantanu Srivastava of Badhaai Ho.
