Sameera Reddy, who was a prominent name in Hindi cinema in the 2000s, is making a comeback to the big screen with Aakhri Sawal, the upcoming political drama starring Sanjay Dutt in the lead. The actor recently spoke about the project, and why she chose this particular film to mark her comeback.
In an official statement, Sameera said, “I didn’t step back into films to play it safe and Aakhiri Sawal is far from comfortable. My understanding of RSS was limited and largely shaped by half-knowledge, but after reading the script, I realised how much of it didn’t add up. That realisation stayed with me.
Further talking about Aakhri Sawal’s strengths, the actor added, “This isn’t a film that reassures you -it unsettles you, challenges your beliefs, and pushes you to question what you’ve always accepted. I wanted my return to stand for something fearless, something that sparks debate and this does exactly that.”
The first teaser of Aakhri Sawal was unveiled on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, offering a controversial glimpse into the history of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The political drama is directed by National Award–winning filmmaker Abhijeet Mohan Warang. Presented by Nikhil Nanda, the film is produced by Nikhil Nanda and Sanjay Dutt, and co-produced by Puneet Nanda, Dr. Deepak Singh, Gaurav Dubey, and Ujjwal Anand. The story, screenplay, and dialogues are written by Utkarsh Naithani.
Sameera and Sanjay have previously worked together in films like Plan and Musafir and others.
