Actor Ajay Devgn says his next project Sons of Sardaar is a war drama based on the Battle of Saragarhi and will match the grandeur of Hollywood period drama 300.
The 46-year-old actor is currently prepping for his directorial venture Shivaay. He will start shooting for Sons of Sardaar once he wraps that up.
“Need ur best wishes for Sons Of Sardaar, will match the scale of Hollywood war film 300 and based on epic Battle of Saragarhi,” Devgn posted on Twitter.
The Battle of Saragarhi was fought on September 12, 1897, by 21 Sikhs of the fourth Battalion of the Sikh Regiment.
This will not be the first time Devgn will portray a historic character. His role as freedom fighter Bhagat Singh in Legend of Bhagat Singh won him a National Film Award.
Sons of Sardaar will hit theatres on the Hindu festival of Diwali in 2017.
