Vicky Kaushal got his real-life partner in Katrina Kaif in a pomp ceremony on 9th December. And now Vicky has got his reel-life partner as well. The actor is headlining ‘Sam Bahadur’, a biopic based on Indian army’s Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. The newlywed will have two new ladies in this film in the form of Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh to act opposite him. While Sanya plays his wife Silloo, Fatima steps into the shoes of the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. On getting an opportunity to portray such a strong character, Sanya opines, “Behind every great man is a woman, and Silloo Manekshaw was that support and strength to Sam Bahadur. I’m honoured to essay this role.” Fatima too is content getting the challenging character, “What intrigued and excited me the most was the passion with which the makers hope to honour Field Marshal’s memory and legacy through this film.” Directed by Meghna Gulzar, ‘Sam Bahadur’ is expected to release in 2022.
