Production

Development

In 2017 Meghna Gulzar narrated the story of the biopic on Sam Manekshaw on the sets of Raazi which she planned to make her next film. Kaushal impressed by the idea decided that he would play the character.[7] She then went for years of extensive research and writing collaborating with Bhavani Iyer and Shantanu Srivastava, also meeting with family members of Sam Manekshaw.[8][9] The film marks the second collaboration between Gulzar and Kaushal. In 2021, the film was announced by RSVP Movies on the 107th birth anniversary of late Sam Manekshaw.[10][11]

Casting

In December 2021, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra joined the cast.[12][13] Neeraj Kabi joined the cast in September 2022 to portray the role of Jawaharlal Nehru marking his second collaboration with Gulzar after Talvar.[14] Kaushal has gone through extensive training in the army under the guidance of the Indian Army’s 6 Sikh Regiment in preparing for his role.[15] Kaushal in an interview with Film Companion revealed that the character would be his toughest onscreen role to date.[16] The film will not have junior artists and instead real-life army personnel and people from the Defence Force have been cast.[17]

Filming

The Principal photography began on 8 August 2022.[18][19] The film was shot over two years in 13 locations in India covering four decades of the life of Sam Manekshaw.[20] Filming took place in Mumbai, Pune, Jodhpur, Pataudi, Chandigarh, Ooty, Coonoor, Dehradun, Kolkata,[21] Patiala,[22] Srinagar, Pahalgam,[23] and Delhi.[24] The team wrapped on 14 March 2023.[25][26]

Music

The music of the film is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy while lyrics are written by Gulzar. Background score is composed by Ketan Sodha.[27] The first single titled "Badhte Chalo" was released on 13 November 2023.[28] The second single titled "Banda" will release on 22 November 2023.

Release

The first teaser was unveiled on 1 December 2022.[29][30] On 13 October 2023 the official teaser was released by the RSVP production.[31]

The film is scheduled for theatrical release on 1 December 2023.[32][33][34]
