In history, Sardar Udham Singh was a member of Ghadar Party who assassinated Michael O’Dwyer on 13 March 1940 in the UK. The killing was done to exact revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919, for which O’Dwyer was responsible. O’Dwyer authorised British Army General, Reginal Dyer, to take necessary steps to bring about order in the province. Dyer had asked for firing on a peaceful gathering in Jallianwala Bagh that killed hundreds of Indians.
The film is directed by Shoojit Sircar and marks the collaboration between Sircar and Vicky Kaushal for the first time.
The film also features Shaun Scott, Stephen Hogan, Banita Sandhu, Kirsty Averton and Amol Parashar in significant parts.
Produced by Rising Sun Films and backed by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, Sardar Udham releases on October 16 on Amazon Prime Video.
