The film could not be made even after many preparations
Randeep said in an interview with Bombay Humans, ‘I had grown a Sikh beard for 3 years for the Battle of Saragarhi. Apart from this, many preparations were also made. But that film could not be completed. This was a very bad moment for me, I was also depressed.
Randeep had no work for 3 years
Randeep further said, it was as if life was cut in half. For this, I had turned down the offer of Chris Hemsworth’s 2020 film Extraction. I once went to the Golden Temple. I had promised there that I would not be allowed to cut my hair until the film (Battle of Saragarhi) was over.
After the film closed, I had no work for three years. I had put on weight, it all felt strange and I didn’t know what to do. Parents were also very worried about all this. After this I received the offer of the film Extraction.
Bad times helped me become a better actor
Randeep said how this bad period helped him become a better actor. He said- If I had achieved success early on, I would not have been the actor I am today.
The film collected Rs 4 crore 85 lakh worldwide.
‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ is releasing in theaters on March 22. The Indian collection of the film has reached Rs 3 crore 35 lakh in two days. It has earned Rs 4 crore 85 lakh worldwide.
