Waarrior Savitri is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language action drama film written and directed by Param Gill.[2][3] The film stars Niharica Raizada,[4] Rajat Barmecha, Om Puri,[5] Karmveer Choudhary and Gulshan Grover. Upender Maheshwari and Bobby Kanda produced Waarrior Savitri under the banner of Dr Bob’s Production. It is a modern-day adaptation of the Indian fable – Satyavan Savitri.
Waarrior Savitri has been filmed in Chandelao Garh, Jodhpur, Mumbai and Las Vegas. British model Lucy Pinder made her Bollywood debut with the film. The film was released on 25 August 2016.[6][7]
