Sara Ali Khan to play a freedom fighter

Sara Ali Khan, who will soon be seen in Laxman Utekar’s untitled movie opposite Vicky Kaushal, also has another movie, Gaslight, alongside Vikrant Massey. And now we hear that the actress is a part of the movie Aye Watan…Mere Watan. The film is all set to go on the floors next month. Sara will be playing the role of freedom fighter Usha Mehta in this film.

A source close to the project says, “Sara signed this film earlier this year. Now that she has finished her other commitments, the film will go on the floors in a few weeks. She has been prepping for the film and is very excited to essay a real-life character for the first time.” The film will reportedly focus on Usha Mehta starting an underground radio station called Congress Radio. It functioned for a few months during the Quit India Movement in 1942. In those few months, it left a huge mark as it greatly assisted the freedom movement by broadcasting uncensored news and other information banned by the British Government of India.
