The actor endured knee ailments for years in a row, which caused film projects to be delayed, but he has persevered against all odds and is now ready to return to Swatantrya Veer Savarkar. It took him a few months to get back in action post the injury, but he is in no mood to slow down.
Apart from acting, Randeep is doing the duties of a director, writer, and producer on the title.
