For those unaware, the actor is a seasoned equestrian and has been involved in polo and show jumping for years. He has also won numerous national-level medals and owned polo clubs and teams. While sharing about the incident on social media, Randeep wrote, “3 years ago, I embarked on an unforgettable journey with Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, which released on this day last year, a film that changed me in ways I never imagined. From co-writing, directing, producing, to playing the role of Veer Savarkar, it was a labor of love, passion, and sacrifice.”
He further added, “The physical pain of shooting with a fractured knee, the emotional highs and lows, and the gruelling weight loss journey all shaped this experience. Yet, what truly made it special was the immense love and support I received from my friends, cast, and crew—who stood by me, even when I was a ‘hangry’ director. This film has been more than just a project; it’s been life-changing. Thank you to every single person who believed in me, and to the audience for embracing this story with open hearts. Forever grateful for this chapter in my life.”
