Mumbai, Mar 14 (PTI) Actor Vicky Kaushal on Tuesday announced that he has wrapped the shooting of his next feature project “Sam Bahadur”, directed by Meghna Gulzar.
“Sam Bahadur” is based on the life and times of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, one of India’s greatest war heroes. The movie, set to be released in theatres on December 1, 2023, is produced by RSVP Movies.
Kaushal shared the news of the film wrap on Instagram, posting a photo with Gulzar, who earlier directed the actor in her 2018 directorial “Raazi”.
The 34-year-old actor said he is grateful to have played a “true legend” on the big screen.
