Sam Bahadur Teaser: Vicky Kaushal returns to the military realm, not for a Uri sequel, but for a biopic on Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. The teaser, reminiscent of Uri, captures Vicky’s transformation into India’s first field marshal.
Vicky Kaushal steps back into the military world, not to reprise his role in a Uri sequel, but to embody the legendary Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in a biopic. The recently unveiled teaser provides a glimpse into Kaushal’s metamorphosis into India’s first field marshal, evoking a sense of déjà vu with echoes of Uri: The Surgical Strike.
Sam Bahadur Teaser Out
The Sam Bahadur teaser resonates strongly with the Uri legacy, from Vicky’s resemblance to Sam Bahadur in his 1960s-70s era to the familiar setting of the film. Vicky, portraying Sam, channels the charismatic energy seen in Uri, even delivering a pep talk to fellow soldiers that hints at the famous “How’s the Josh” line from Aditya Dhar’s film. Some dialogues, including a confrontation with then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, bear tonal similarities to the world of Uri.
