Whether their films showcase the achievements of celebrated sportsmen, or that of martyrs, makers of Hindi films have often taken cinematic liberties under the pretext of making them consumable for the masses. However, Sardar Udham maker Shoojit Sircar claims to have steered clear of the tendency to dramatise the part of the freedom fighter, enacted by Vicky Kaushal.
“It was difficult to maintain a balance. We wanted to capture [the era] via the right costumes, and sounds without getting [engrossed] in it. We didn’t want to portray it as a chest-thumping character because with such a film, it is easy to take that route. It was a conscious effort [to not make him look larger than life],” he says of the Amazon Prime Video project.
