The first single from Vickey Kaushal's upcoming Sam Bahadur, Badhte Chalo was unveiled by the makers on Monday. Composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, the Gulzar-penned song has been crooned by Vishal Dadlani and Divya Kumar, along with Shankar Mahadevan. 

Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film is produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP films. While Vicky plays Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in the film, it also features Fatima Sana Shaikh as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Sanya Malhotra as Sam’s wife Siloo.

The film marks Meghna's second collaboration with Vicky after Raazi (2018) which starred Alia Bhatt in the lead. Sam Manekshaw was the first soldier in the Indian Army to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. He is credited for India’s victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war, which led to the creation of Bangladesh.

Bhavani Iyer has penned the film’s script along with Meghna's father, the celebrated writer and poet Gulzar and Shantanu Srivastava. Sam Bahadur is slated to release on December 1.
