AFTER collaborating for Raazi (2018), which enjoyed both critical and commercial success, writer-director Meghna Gulzar and actor Vicky Kaushal reunited to work on Sam Bahadur, the upcoming biopic of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw.
Over the years, both Gulzar and Kaushal have earned accolades for their impressive individual body of work. However, with Sam Bahadur, whose much-anticipated release in theatres is scheduled for December 1, their creative partnership is now considered one of the most exciting collaborations in contemporary Hindi cinema.
The two will be the guests at the Express Adda in Delhi on Monday, and will be in conversation with Anant Goenka, Executive Director, The Indian Express group, and Shubhra Gupta, Film Critic, The Indian Express.
Known for helming powerful dramas, and recognised for her sensitivity and nuanced layering of characters, Gulzar made her directorial debut with Filhaal (2002). Her work also includes the movies Talvar (2015) and Chhapak (2020).
Kaushal, who made the audience take note with his breakout performance in Masaan (2015), has established himself as one of India’s finest actors. His impressive filmography includes Manmarziyaan (2018) and Sardar Udham (2021). Often praised for his ability to own the character he plays, Kaushal received the National Film Award for Best Actor for Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019).
Apart from winning over critics and viewers with his performances and consistency, the actor has made his mark in mainstream cinema with films such as Sanju (2018) and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023).
A week after Sam Bahadur is released, Kaushal will be seen with Shah Rukh Khan in the highly-anticipated Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
