Like several films in the past many months, makers of Sardar Udham have opted for a direct digital release. While films like Bell Bottom and Thalaivii did have a theatrical release, the footfall in cinemas across the country remains underwhelming, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts have warned that there could be more waves of the pandemic and thus caution needs to be exercised. This has led to reluctance among viewers to head for theatres that are working on 50 percent occupancy to ensure social distancing. So while some films are heading for theatres, many like Sherni, Bhoot Police, Shershaah and Annabelle Rathore came to streaming platforms instead.

Here are ten things to know about Sardar Udham:

1. Apart from Kaushal, the film also features Shaun Scott, Stephen Hogan, Banita Sandhu and Kirsty Averton in key roles.

2. Actor Amol Parashar, best known for his work in the web series Tripling, will have a special appearance in the film.

3.  The film is based on life and death of Udham Singh, who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by shooting Michael O’Dwyer in London, in 1940.

4. Singh spent close to six years in London, bidding time, till he shot O'Dwyer who was the Lt Governor of Punjab at the time of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
