The recently released trailer builds upon the teaser that was revealed last month. It provides an intense and captivating look into the life of India’s first Field Marshal. Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal of Sam Manekshaw is compelling as he delivers a powerful performance, including scenes where he engages in tough conversations with his fellow soldiers and confronts several high-profile leaders, including the then-Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. The film is set in the late 1960s and early ’70s, adding a historical dimension to the narrative.

“Sam Bahadur” is scheduled to hit theaters on December 1, 2023. The film’s screenplay is penned by Bhavani Iyer, Shantanu Shrivastava, and Meghna Gulzar.
