Quietly in my heart, I sent out a wish to the universe… to one day be considered for the role…Today… sitting on the same terrace with Meghna, as we are set for an all-nighter, shooting for a beautiful episode from Sam’s life. Living Sam is probably the most magical journey I’m on as an Actor!”

The Sam Maneckshaw biopic would be Vicky’s second film with Meghna as they had earlier teamed up for the spy-thriller Raazi, also starring Alia Bhatt, which shot him to instant fame. Sam Bahadur, which also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, is a biopic based on  the life of India's first field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw. Set for a December 1 release, the last schedule of the film is currently being shot in Punjab.
