Randeep Hooda was doing a film on the Battle of Saragarhi, the same theme we saw in Akshay Kumar's Kesari. And now the actor has spoken about how he was hurt his film could never be made! Hooda is known for his meticulousness and marvelous performances. For this film that was being helped by Rajkumar Santoshi and tentatively titled 21, Hooda grew an actual beard and didn't even take up a project for over two years.

Such was his commitment to the part that he even learned Sikh Martial Arts for the film, but unfortunately, fate had other plans. The film never saw the lights of the day and the actor moved on. And talking about this ambitious film to Mumbai Mirror, he said, "It hurt the audiences could not see a more authentic version with more real emotions of the story. That apart, you learn to move on. Through the journey, I learned the principles of Sikhism and I'm a better person now."
