Vicky Kaushal shines in the trailer of Shoojit Sircar’s Sardar Udham

A few days ago, it was announced that Shoojit Sircar’s Sardar Udham will get a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video. The movie starring Vicky Kaushal is slated to premiere on 16th October 2021, and on Thursday (30), the trailer of the film was released.

The trailer of Sardar Udham is average; we surely expected more from it. But, Kaushal shines in it and his performance is the highlight of the trailer.

Sardar Udham is a biopic on Udham Singh, a revolutionary freedom fighter who is famously known for assassinating Michael O'Dwyer in London to take revenge for the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, India.

The movie was earlier slated to release in theatres in January this year, but later the makers decided on a direct-to-digital release for it. Well, this will be Sircar’s second film in a row to premiere on Amazon Prime Video. Last year, his directorial Gulabo Sitabo starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana was also released on the streaming platform.

Sardar Udham also stars Banita Sandhu and Amol Parashar.

A script that stood out

Ainy Jaffri steps onto the stage with Rukhsati, drawn in by what she describes as a layered and emotionally rich script. The project, written and directed by Saqib Deshmukh, has already seen earlier runs before moving to Tara Theatre.

Jaffri said the opportunity came through her co-actor Hassan Khan, and the strength of the writing made it an immediate draw, particularly as a two-hander that places sustained focus on performance.
