Meghna Gulzar Was Obsessed by Detail as She Depicted an Indian War Hero in ‘Sam Bahadur’: ‘It Was Interesting Thinking Like a Man’
'Sam Bahadur,' a biopic of Indian war hero Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, is the latest feature from Meghna Gulzar.
The cast is led by Vicky Kaushal(“Dunki”) as Manekshaw and also includes Sanya Malhotra (“Jawan”) as his wife Silloo and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Gulzar’s previous films include “Talvar” (2015), starring Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma, and “Raazi” (2018), headlined by Alia Bhatt, both of which were critical and commercial successes and “Chhapaak” (2020), featuring Deepika Padukone as an acid attack victim. Only some of Manekshaw’s dialogues with his wife and cook were fictionalized, with the rest drawn from interviews with him, published accounts and conversations that the project researchers had with his family, daughters, grandchildren and associates.
