Randeep Hooda, known for his versatile acting skills, has recently ventured into directing with his debut film ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’. The movie has garnered a positive response, particularly for its unique approach to honoring the forgotten stories of freedom fighters. One such innovative aspect is the AI-generated National Anthem created by the film’s team on the occasion of Martyr’s Day.
The National Anthem used in ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ serves as a tribute to various freedom fighters whose narratives have faded from mainstream historical accounts. These include names like V. D. Savarkar, Vasudev Balwant Phadke, Lala Hardyal, Shyamji Verma, Ganesh Babarao Savarkar, Madanlal Dhingra, Khudiram Bose, Chapekar Brothers (Damodar Hari, Balkrishna, Vasudeo Hari), Anant Kanhere, and Madam Bhikaji Cama.
Randeep Hooda expressed his thoughts on this AI-generated rendition, emphasizing the importance of bringing to light the stories of India’s unsung heroes. He stated, “Our team has worked on a unique AI-created national anthem bringing to ‘life’ some of the most daring men and women who fought for India’s freedom but whose stories got lost in the annals of time. It’s our tribute to them, our way of saying that you will always be in our hearts. And we will never forget you! Jai Hind.”
The film ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ has been produced by Zee Studios, Anand Pandit, Sandeep Singh, Randeep Hooda, & Yogesh Rahar, with co-producers Roopa Pandit, Sam Khan, Anwar Ali, and Panchali Chakraborty. It aims to shed light on lesser-known aspects of India’s freedom struggle and honor the contributions of these forgotten heroes.
