Sam Manekshaw’s daughter reviews Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur
During an event hosted by The Indian Express, the daughter of Sam Manekshaw, Maya reacted to Vicky Kaushal’s performance in Sam Bahadur as she was asked about a particular moment in the film where she felt proud about her father’s story being told.
In response to this, she stated, “Pride will always be there. “They have made the film to make the country proud of whatever it was. But, the time that I tear up, every time, I’ve seen the film twice now, and I’ve teared up both times, is the last two seconds of the film when you turn to the audience, and you’re smiling. That just kills me every time.”
Notably, before its release, a grand star-studded film premiere was also hosted by the team in Mumbai. The event was attended by several big Bollywood celebs including Vicky’s wife and actress Katrina Kaif, Sara Ali Khan, Sidharth Malhotra, and others. In addition to this, several took to their social media handles and lauded the actor’s performance.
