Writer Bhavani Iyer is thrilled to reunite with filmmaker Meghna Gulzar and actor Vicky Kaushal for the biopic on 1971 war hero Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw and hopes the film would be as remarkable as the trio's "Raazi".
In "Sam", Vicky will be seen playing Manekshaw, who was the chief of Indian Army in 1971 when India fought the Bangladesh Liberation War with Pakistan.
Asked if the audience would see a repeat of "Raazi" magic with their combination, Bhavani told PTI, "I am hoping that would happen. I couldn't be happier with the Sam we have got in Vicky. He is wonderful and such a brilliant actor."
"And not get tempted and say - if this gets left out, it's ok but whatever we tell, needs to serve the purpose of the larger story. Once we arrived at that, it was breezy."
