Hooda returns to Cellular Jail, honors Savarkar’s verse

Randeep Hooda went back to the Cellular Jail in Port Blair, where he filmed most of his directorial debut about freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The actor showed up for the unveiling of a Savarkar statue at the historic prison site and got recognized by RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat and Home Minister Amit Shah during the ceremony.

Hooda posted about revisiting the place where Savarkar was locked up and where he shot major scenes for Swatantrya Veer Savarkar. The trip lined up with the 115th anniversary of Sagara Pran Tarmalala, which is this Marathi poem Savarkar wrote about being separated from India while stuck in exile.

The film dropped last year and got solid reviews for the acting performances. Hooda directed and produced the biopic while also playing the lead role.
