Taking to Instagram, Randeep shared pictures from the sets of 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar'.
He also revealed how he locked himself inside a jail cell to feel what Savarkar went through while shooting the biopic.
Sharing the photos, he wrote, "Today is the punyatithi of one of the greatest sons of Bharat Mata. Leader, Fearless Freedom Fighter, Writer, Philosopher & Visionary #SawatantryaVeerSavarkar. A man whose towering intellect and fierce courage scared the British so much that they locked him in this 7 by 11 foot jail in Kalapani for two life times (50 years). During the recce on his biopic I tried to lock myself inside this cell to feel what he must have gone through. I couldn't stay locked for even 20 minutes where he was locked for 11 years often in solitary confinement."
He added, "I imagined the unparalleled endurance of #VeerSavarkar who endured the cruelty and inhuman conditions of the imprisonment and yet managed to build and inspire the armed revolution. His perseverance and contribution are unmatchable hence for decades the Anti India forces still continue to vilify him....Naman. #VeerSavarkarOn22ndMarch #WhoKilledHisStory."
