Sam Bahadur’s trailer, which the makers released a fortnight ago, had shown Sam Manekshaw’s exceptional leadership and the formidable challenges he faced. The first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal, Manekshaw played a pivotal role in India’s victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war, leading to the creation of Bangladesh.

The film also stars Neeraj Kabi, Edward Sonnenblick, Govind Namdev and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in key roles. Sam Bahadur is slated for release on December 1, alongside Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal.

During the trailer launch event of the film, Kaushal opened up about the film’s team paying attention to every minute detail about the late military officer’s life.

He also shared that during the shoot of the film, he met the officers of the Indian Army, who were happy about him doing the film, but ‘scared’ him in equal measure by reminding him how important Sam Manekshaw is to them.
