Udham Singh was in prison for possession of prohibited papers “Ghadr-i-Gunj” (“Voice of Revolt”). He was released later but under constant surveillance.

At the trailer launch of Sardar Udham, Vicky had said he hopes that the Shoojit Sircar film can acquaint people with the freedom fighter. “Sardar Udham Singh and many other people who gave their lives for our freedom struggle get lost in a line, paragraph, or a page in our history books. Sardar Udham Singh was probably that one line, paragraph, or a page in the book.”

He said, “But because I had heard his stories from my grandparents and parents, there was always this connection straight from my core where I related to that man. I related to his angst.”

The film Sardar Udham also features Shaun Scott, Stephen Hogan, Banita Sandhu, Kirsty Averton, and Amol Parashar in pivotal roles. It has been produced by Rising Sun Films and backed by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar.
