The teaser shows Sanjay Dutt sitting amid guns as he says, “This is the story of a man who said slavery is not good, neither of others, nor of the people close to us.” Vaani Kapoor takes the thought forward, “This story is of the one who earned a dream about freedom in his father’s legacy.” Ranbir adds, “But nobody gives you freedom. You have to win it. Karam se dakait, dharam se azaad Shamshera (A dacoit by his actions, a free man really)!”

There was a great story of heroism, a story rooted in our country which actually happened back then.”
