Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Sardar Udham Singh’ To Release In January 21 Now. Know Why

‘Sardar Udham Singh’, directed by Shoojit Sircar and featuring Vicky Kaushal in the lead role, will hit the theatres on January 15, 2021 now. The film was earlier scheduled to release on October 2 this year.

The new release date seems to have been chosen after it was announced earlier that Ranveer Singh’s ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ and John Abraham’s ‘Satyamev Jayate’ will clash with the film of October 2.

Sharing the update on Instagram, Vicky wrote, “On March 13th 1940, #SardarUdham singlehandedly assassinated Michael O’ Dwyer in London to honour the lives lost at the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. His story deserves justice onscreen. Keeping that in mind, we will now see you in cinemas on 15th January 2021!”

The film is a biopic on Sardar Udham Singh, the revolutionary who assassinated Michael O’Dwyer to avenge the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
