Field Marshal of India, Sam Manekshaw’s biopic starring Vicky Kaushal has finally got its title — Sam Bahadur. On the braveheart’s birth anniversary, Vicky shared the title announcement video, which was voiced by Gulzar. Vicky also wrote, “The man. The legend. The brave-heart. Our Sam Bahadur… On the birth anniversary of Field Marshal #SamManekshaw, his story has found its name. #SamBahadur.” The film is helmed by Meghna Gulzar and produced by Ronnie Screwvala.

The film is based on Sam Manekshaw, who was the Chief of the Army Staff during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 and the first officer who was given the rank of Field Marshal. His prolific military career spanning four decades included five wars!

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
