Parashar commented on the post, “Mere bhai mere bhai mere bhai! ✊❤️ What a privilege to play this character, to share screen space with you and playing off your brilliant talent and energy! Some of the best days of my work life. Big big jhappi mere Udham! Tu revolutionary hai re!”

The film also stars Banita Sandhu and now, we wait for her first look from the movie to be unveiled.

Sardar Udham will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 16th October 2021.

While talking about the film, at the trailer launch, Kaushal had stated, "A person who had taken a note to avenge that bloodshed, not in India but by crossing borders 100 years ago, went to the heart of the British empire... For me, it is a story of resilience, bravery, patience, and a passionate person. Through this film, I wanted to explore that factor in me also. It's not the most easy role to touch. It's also a character that isn't widely documented in our history books.”

  • Indian mythological titles are landing on global OTT services with better quality and reach.
  • Netflix leads the push with Kurukshetra and Mahavatar Narsimha.
  • UK viewers can access some titles now, though licensing varies.
  • Regional stories and folklore films are expanding the genre.
  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
