Vicky Kaushal will portray the role of the protagonist, Sam Bahadur, while Sanya Malhotra will play the role of his wife, Silloo Manekshaw, and Fatima Sana Sheikh will be seen in the role of Indira Gandhi.

The film is based on the life and times of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, who was the Chief of the Indian Army in 1971 when India fought the Bangladesh Liberation War with Pakistan. The biographical film stars Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra, and Fatima Sana Sheikh in the lead roles.

Sam Manekshaw was awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 1972 by the honorable President of India, V.V. Giri, for his undying services to the Indian Nation.

The script for Sam Bahadur is written by renowned writer Bhavani Iyer, Meghna’s father Gulzar, and Shantanu Srivastava of Badhaai Ho! fame. Gulzar also serves as a lyricist in the movie with music by the popular trio Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy.
