Mahesh Manjrekar has outed out of directing SwatantryaVeer Savarkar due to scheduling conflicts. According to a note from the makers, the film is on schedule and a new director will be announced soon. The film stars Randeep Hooda as the titular politician and Hindutva icon.

"Not wanting to delay an already worked out schedule, in a mutual understanding the makers and the director have parted ways amicably," read the press note.

Producer Anand Pandit said, "Mahesh Manjrekarji is a very good director.  We will definitely work together in future. Our film, SwatantryaVeer  Savarkar, requires absolute dedication and time. But due to Maheshji's prior commitments we could not match the dates as per our decided shooting schedules."

SwatantryaVeer Savarkar is being produced by Anand Pandit, Sandeep Singh and Sam Khan and co-produced by Roopa Pandit and Zafar Mehdi.
