Sardar Udham Singh (October 1): Directed by Shoojit Sircar, Vicky Kaushal will channel his energies towards playing the Indian revolutionary freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh who assassinated Michael O’Dwyer, the British officer who was responsible for Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The first look of the film showed Kaushal as a mean assassin who means business. Kaushal called it a “big honour” to play the martyr, who was convicted and hung in 1940. “The way he [director Shoojit Sircar] is looking at the character [Udham Singh] and the world is extraordinary as well as beautiful. Plus, it’s also a big honour for me that finally, I am going to be directed by him. Honestly, that’s something that will take time to sink in,” said Kaushal in a statement.
