The teaser opens with Sam Bahadur aka Vicky Kaushal sharing a motivating message to his soldiers. “Ek soldier apne wardi ki izzat ke liye apne jaan bhi de sakta hai (a soldier can also give away his life for his uniform,” he says. It then presents how Sam Bahadur took the lead and helped India to attain victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

For the unversed, Sam Manekshawan’s career in the army spanned over four decades and five wars. He was the first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal and his military victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war led to the creation of Bangladesh.
Sam Bahadur also stars Neeraj Kabi, Edward Sonnenblick (as Lord Mountbatten), Richard Bhakti Klein (as Ambassador Keating), Saqib Ayub (Captain Attiqur Rahman) and Krishna Kant Singh Bundela (as Subedar Gurbaksh Singh) in key roles.
Sam Bahadur will hit theatres on December 1. This means that the film will clash at the box office with Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Animal. However, for Vicky, it is a way to ‘flourish’ as the industry. “We, as an industry, should give the option of multiple films on the same day to the audience. That’s how we will flourish as an industry. We have those many weeks in a year, but as an industry, we cannot limit ourselves to making those many films in a year. We will have to make multiple films and we will have multiple releases on the same day,” he said during the teaser launch.
