Earlier, Vicky Kaushal had done a biopic Sanju, a film on Bollywood actor Sanjay's Dutt's life but Vicky's role was actually not totally a realistic as director Rajkumar Hirani compiled his character with many of Sanjay's friends. This definitely has come after seeing the success of Uri and that how Vicky has made his fan following in the audience.
Let us tell you that the film will be set in the pre-independence era and the film will release in 2020. Let us tell you that Udham Singh was the freedom fighter who killed General Dayar, responsible for Jalianwala Bagh massacre. He killed General Dayar in London.
