For the unaware, Randeep Hooda badly hurt his knee while working on his first film, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, as a director. He fell badly while riding a horse. The accident happened when the film's production was stopped due to financial constraints. He was left with multiple ligament tears in his knee, requiring extensive rehabilitation.

Despite the multiple setbacks, the actor completed the movie using his own money, even though it was hard with his injury. After months of treatment and therapy, Randeep is now strong enough to ride horses again.
