Trust Randeep Hooda to surprise the audience with every character that he decides to portray on screen. Producer Anand Pandit and Sandeep Singh announce Randeep as the lead of their film, Swatantra Veer Savarkar, the unsung hero of India’s freedom movement.

After the critically acclaimed Sarabjit, producer Sandeep Singh reunites with Randeep Hooda on this project. Randeep will be essaying the role of controversial freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Randeep says, “There are many heroes that have played their part in getting us our independence. However, not everyone has got their due. Savarkar is the most misunderstood, debated and influential of these unsung heroes and his story must be told.”

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).
