In a recent event held in Pune, acclaimed actors Ankita Lokhande and Randeep Hooda unveiled the Marathi trailer of the much-anticipated film ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’. The film, which is set to release on March 22, is a historical drama that delves into the life of the legendary freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Hooda, who is also making his directorial debut with this film, embodies the titular character, while Lokhande portrays his steadfast wife, Yamunabai.

The trailer launch was a significant affair, with Lokhande receiving accolades for her authentic portrayal and her decision to appear in a no-makeup look, a testament to the film’s commitment to realism. This choice, as Lokhande reveals, was influenced by Hooda’s directorial vision, which aimed to capture the essence of the era and its characters with utmost fidelity.

Following the event, the cast paid homage to the historical figure by visiting the hostel where Savarkar once resided, connecting with the roots of their film’s inspiration.

In an interview, Lokhande reflected on the virtues of her character, expressing a desire to emulate Yamunabai’s patience—a trait she admits to lacking. She also shared insights into her acting process, emphasizing her continuous dedication to her craft, akin to her early days in the industry. Lokhande’s journey, marked by passion and perseverance, mirrors the film’s narrative of overcoming challenges, a theme that resonates with her personal and professional growth.

‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ is not just a film; it’s a cinematic tribute to a pivotal figure in India’s struggle for independence, brought to life through the collaborative vision of Hooda and Lokhande. As the release date approaches, audiences eagerly await the opportunity to witness this slice of history on the big screen.
