Swatantrya Veer Savarkar's makers aim to tell the untold story of an activist and also claims that Savarkar has inspired revolutionaries and leaders such as Bhagat Singh, Subash Chandra Bose, and Khudiram Bose.

Actor Randeep Hooda has turned into a director and has launched the first teaser of his upcoming political biographical drama, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, on Sunday, May 28. On the 140th birth anniversary of controversial and influential revolutionary and activist Veer Savarkar, the makers dropped the official teaser of the film. The 1.13-minute video shows glimpses of an unrecognised Randeep Hooda as social activist Veer Savarkar. 

In the teaser, Savarkar says that Mahatma Gandhi wasn't wrong, but India could have won freedom 35 years earlier if he would have not followed his non-violence ideology. During the teaser, the makers claims that Savarkar inspired Bhagat Singh, Subash Chandra Bose and Khudiram Bose. By the end of the video, the film asks the question, "Who killed his story?"
