On Thursday, Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal’s film ‘Sardar Udham’ won the Best Hindi Film Feature Award at the 69th National Film Awards. Helmed by Soojit Sircar, the film was released in 2021 and starred Vicky in the titular role.
After the award was announced, Shoojit Sircar expressed that Vicky should have won the award for Best Actor which went to Allu Arjun for ‘Pushpa: The Rise’. In an interview with Mid-Day, Shoojit said, “Vicky undoubtedly deserved the Best Actor award. The way he transformed into Sardar Udham is commendable. We started with the Jallianwala Bagh sequence. The first shot was of Udham picking up [the dead] bodies, feeling the weight and pain. The set was witnessing that nightmare. That set the tone of the film. Vicky couldn’t sleep for nights, and carried that disturbance throughout other parts of the movie.”
Vicky expressed his gratitude towards the entire team of ‘Sardar Udham’ and dedicated the award to the late actor Irrfan Khan. He shared his happiness on his Instagram account with a post.
‘Sardar Udham’ is a biopic of freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh, who killed Michael O'Dwyer in 1940. The film also featured Shaun Scott, Stephen Hogan, Banita Sandhu, Kirsty Averton, and Amol Parashar. Even before the National Film Awards, Vicky had won the Best Actor award for Sardar Udham at IIFA 2022.
