It portrays Manekshaw’s unwavering determination to secure victory in the face of political pressure to maintain the status quo. The two-minute and thirty-eight-second trailer highlights Manekshaw’s illustrious 40-year military career and his collaboration with former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to defeat Pakistan.

It also emphasizes the importance of discipline in the army as Manekshaw imparts wisdom to a minister. The trailer concludes with Sam’s powerful words, ‘Hum rahe ya na rahe iss vardi ka gaurav hamesha rehna chahiye (Whether we live or die, the honor of this uniform must always endure).'”

Sanya Malhotra portrays Siloo, Sam’s wife, while Fatima Sana Shaikh takes on the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film also features Neeraj Kabi as Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub as Yahya Khan.
