The trailer of Sanjay Dutt’s upcoming film Aakhri Sawal was unveiled in Mumbai on May 8. The film revisits some of India’s most debated historical events and has already sparked discussions online following the trailer’s release.
At the launch event, Sanjay Dutt stated that the film’s themes and questions should reach the younger generation and all citizens of the country. Commenting on his decision to join the project, he said, “When this script came to me, and when I heard the script, I felt that all these questions should reach our youth, should reach every citizen of our country. You know, and… We have tried our best to perform it, to enhance it, as you have seen.”
The film incorporates dramatic scenes and powerful dialogues to raise questions around these events and aims to present what the makers describe as “untold truths.”
Sanjay Dutt plays the lead role, portraying a compelling character throughout the trailer. Actress Sameera Reddy returns with an important role. The cast also includes Amit Sadh, Namashi Chakraborty, Nitu Chandra, and Tridha Choudhury.
