Randeep Hooda`s directorial debut, `Swatantrya Veer Savarkar`, has stirred a controversy, thanks to his claim that the freedom fighter and Hindutva`s ideologue was the inspiration behind Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and Khudiram Bose, the youngest martyr of the freedom struggle.
The first salvo was fired by Netaji`s grandnephew and on-again, off-again BJP politician, Chandra Kumar Bose, who warned Hooda in a tweet, "If you respect #Savarkar, please don`t distort history", and then said in an interview with a news channel that his famous grand-uncle was inspired by two people: Swami Vivekananda and Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das.
