Sam Bahadur Trailer: Vicky's Tryst With History And Politics Of The Nation

The makers of  Sam Bahadur released the trailer of the film on Tuesday. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Sam Bahadur is based on the life of India's first field marshal, Sam Manekshaw. Vicky Kaushal plays the titular character in the film. The video begins with Sam Manekshaw mouthing some lines in Punjabi.  The video captures various stages of Sam Manekshaw's army life.

Vicky Kaushal can be seen adapting certain mannerisms to portray the real-life character. When Sam Manekshaw is informed that Muhammad Ali Jinnah wants him to join the Pakistan army, he can be heard saying, "Paedaish Amritsar me hai, biwi Bombay se hai aur mein Delhi mein kaam karta hu, iss se zyada Indian kya ho sakta hu (Was born in Amritsar, My wife is from Bombay, I work in Delhi.

Is there anything more I need to prove my Indianness?)". The trailer is full of powerful dialogues. Sam Manekshaw can be heard saying to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (played by Fatima Sana Shaikh), "Kabiliyat aur niyat ka fark hai (There's a difference between potential and intention)." The action takes place in the backdrop of social-political scenario of India-Pakistan-Kashmir dynamics.
