We listened..We switched gears,
From fast forward to slow motion..
Now, there is a call again,
An excitement, yet a caution
And a hunger to reboot,
With this feeling
We begin, again.. #SardarUdhamSingh

Vicky Kaushal will be seen essaying the lead role of Udham Singh in the biopic. The story of the flick is of a courageous martyr who assassinated Michael O' Dwyer, the former lieutenant governor of Punjab in pre-Independence India, to take the revenge of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919. Udham Singh was then tried and imprisoned of murder and hanged in July 1940. The film was slated to hit the big screens on October 2, 2020.
The director is excited about the premiere of his upcoming film Gulabo Sitabo on the digital platform on June 12. Earlier while describing his films, the director had said that he finds the diversity of the ordinary in India fascinating. It is this inclination towards everyday life which makes him return to stories like Gulabo Sitabo, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana as Mirza and Banke.
