A biopic on the life and times of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, more popularly known as Veer Savarkar was announced a few years back. The film went into production with Mahesh Manjrekar as the director, but within a few days the ace director walked away sighting difference with the lead actor, Randeep Hooda, who was also one of the main producers of the film. It was reported that Randeep Hooda was interfering too much into the way Mahesh Manjrekar was trying to make the film, which eventually led to him walking out of the project. Soon afterwards, Randeep Hooda took over the directorial reigns. The film however has been in the making for a really long time, and therefore the buzz around it was also minimal. It had a quiet release in theatres this Friday with no big publicity done.
