Ankita Lokhande’s role as Yamunabai, Savarkar’s onscreen wife, promises to be a highlight of the movie. Initially helmed by Mahesh Manjrekar, Hooda took over the directorial reins following creative differences. Produced by Zee Studios, the film has already garnered significant buzz within the industry.
Lokhande, known for her portrayal of Jhalkaribai in “Manikarnika,” emphasized the distinction between her characters, stating, “It’s not right to compare the characters as both are completely different.” She highlighted the contrasting battles fought by Jhalkaribai and Yamunabai, acknowledging the power vested in each character in their own right.
