As he kicks off Sardar Udham Singh-s post-production, director Shoojit Sircar says the film is a tribute to original leading man, Irrfan Khan.

Irrfan was the original choice for the film
After the state government greenlit the resumption of shoots, director Shoojit Sircar kicked off the post-production of Sardar Udham Singh on Monday. The principal photography of the Vicky Kaushal-starrer was concluded in February, well before the lockdown was brought into effect across the country. Sircar, only days away from the global premiere of his comedy Gulabo Sitabo, says he has returned to the universe of the valiant freedom fighter.
"Gulabo Sitabo was ready before the lockdown; all I did was deliver the film. The work on Udham Singh was halted due to the lockdown. Now, we are adhering by the guidelines as we proceed. The future at work won-t be easy. Shooting is best done in utter chaos. A film can-t be shot with constraints; it needs human interaction. But the virus is here to stay. So, we have to realign our methods," reasons the filmmaker.
