Soon after the director shared the teaser, fans flooded the comment section with red hearts and fire emoticons.

Vicky on playing the lead role in the film said, “Playing the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw is an immense responsibility and a huge honour. We’ve poured our hearts into bringing to life one of India’s great heroes on screen. I’m humbled to be a part of this project that is so inspiring. The teaser is just a short glimpse of the legend and the story will surely touch the hearts of the audiences.”

Meghna Gulzar, said, “I feel blessed that I was chosen to tell this story and work with this incredible cast. Sam Manekshaw is an ideal, a hero. And has lived his life fearlessly and righteously. I hope that our effort to present his momentous life and his admirable qualities will resonate with the audiences. He is a role model everyone should know more about.”

Producer Ronnie Screwvala added, “It’s not often that one gets to make a movie on an Icon and a true patriot. And it’s not often that one partners with the perfect Director to bring this story to life and Meghna does that and much more. But it IS often that one gets to work with Vicky and just about every time we do come together – it’s for a special reason and on this one his performance is going to leave the audience awestruck. From all of us – A 21 gun salute to Sam Bahadur.”

Sam Bahadur is all set to release worldwide on December 1. It will face a big Bollywood clash with Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming action film ‘Animal’.
