The movie will see Vicky Kaushal in the titular role of Sardar Udham Singh and is written by Ritesh Shah and Shubendu Bhattacharya. It has been produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar.

It will be based on the life of the freedom fighter Ram Mohammad Singh Azad, who is better known as Shaheed-i-Azam Sardar Udham Singh. He belonged to Ghadar Party and assassinated Michael O-Dwyer, the former lieutenant governor of Punjab in British India, on March 13, 1940.

He assassinated Dwyer to avenge the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar.

Earlier, the buzz was strong that Sara Ali Khan will be seen playing the female lead. However, the female lead has not yet been finalised by the makers.
