The biopic film was announced on 4 March 2019. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror the director of the film Shoojit Sircar said that it was his dream to make the film on Udham Singh, he stated, "I heard the inspiring story when I was just out of college, doing theatre in Delhi. I came to Mumbai with the idea of making a film on it." He further stated, "I want to bring this largely unknown revolutionary alive on screen.

After the Maharashtra Government gave permission to the film and the TV industry to resume shootings in the state, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar has kick-started post-production on his pending film Sardar Udham Singh featuring Vicky Kaushal and Banita Sandhu on Monday.
The entire film completed the shoot in the month of February, much before the lockdown. In an interview with Midday, Shoojit reveals that Sardar Udham Singh’s leading man was Irrfan Khan, but when he was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in 2018, he thought to wait for him to get back.
However, he later decided to replace him with Vicky Kaushal due to Irrfan’s health. As it’s been a month to Irrfan’s death, Sircar says he wants to dedicate the film to the late actor. Also Read - Irrfan Khan's Madh Island House Holds His Teachings, Hardwork And Memories, Son Babil Recalls All
The filmmaker reveals how he thinks about Irrfan every day and can never get over his loss. Shoojit told the portal, “I think about Irrfan every day. His image floats in front of my eyes. We had grown close in the past two years when he underwent treatment. During his last 10 days, I was following up with Sutapa [Irrfan’s wife] and Babil [son].
Babil broke the news to me that morning. I still feel Irrfan is with me, talking to me. I can never get over his loss.” Also, Read - Irrfan Khan's Son Babil on Being Called Anti-National After His Viral Post: I am Raised as a Man Without Religion
