Ankita Lokhande, who recently appeared on Bigg Boss 17, is slated to co-star with Randeep Hooda in the film Swatantra Veer Savarkar, which is slated for release in theatres on March 22, 2024. After Bigg Boss 17, this will be Ankita’s first project.
Hooda plays Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, while the actress from Pavitra Rishta will portray Savarkar’s wife, Yamunabai Savarkar. Ankita disclosed that Randeep did not want her in the film because she was too “beautiful” for the part at the Marathi premiere of the teaser for Swatantra Veer Savarkar.
She said in Marathi, “He told me, ‘I don’t think I want you in the film’. I was like, why? He was like, ‘You are too pretty for the character (Yamunabai Savarkar)’. I was like, ‘Please don’t say that’.”
Further, she added that Randeep has done a lot of research and is sure about what he wants in the film. “He knew everything about what she (Yamunabai Savarkar) was like. She was the successful woman behind a successful man (Veer Savarkar),” said Lokhande.
Ankita and Randeep work together on screen for the first time with Swatantrya Veer Savarkar.
In addition to performing in the movie, Randeep co-wrote, co-produced, and directed it. It is scheduled for release in Marathi and Hindi.
