He continued, "Quietly in my heart, I sent out a wish to the universe… to one day be considered for the role...Today… sitting on the same terrace with Meghna, as we are set for an all-nighter, shooting for a beautiful episode from Sam’s life.Living Sam is probably the most magical journey I’m on as an Actor!"

For the unversed, General Sam Manekshaw was the Chief of Army Staff when he led the nation to victory against Pakistan in 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. He was part of the first batch of Indian Military Academy and the first officer to attain the rank of Field Marshal in Indian Army.
