Ayushmann Khurrana might play Swatantraveer Savarkar in his helmed by Mahesh Manjrekar

Well, recently the filmaker Sandeep Ssingh was in the news for his connection to Sushant Singh Rajput. Now we have some reports on his professional front. He has recently announced his next production venture. The project helmed by Mahesh Manjrekar is based on Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, commonly known as Swatantraveer Savarkar. We have another news on the same as Ayushmann Khurrana is in the race to bag the lead.

According to a source close to the development, “The bid was between Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana. The team is clear on one fact – they need a terrific performer to pull off this challenging role and they zeroed in on Raj and Ayushmann. Both of them were spoken to for the film and it seems the team might have expressed their interest in one of them already.”

The same source further said, “Ayushmann Khurrana has a slight edge over Rajkummar Rao. Rajkummar has many films lined up which he needs to shoot next, whereas, Ayushmann clearly has delivered better box office numbers than Raj on average. The budget of this film will be high, so they want a bankable star and Ayushmann is their first choice. They are already in talks and it needs to be seen if they mutually agree on the project anytime soon.”
