“Everyone wants to be a part of war film and you are firing real guns and ammunition but actually after we finished when you see the carnages, dead bodies lying there, the pyre you have to give fire to that is really emotional and shaky,” he added.

Arjun Rampal plays the role of the commanding officer of the unit at the border outpost at Nathu La at the time of the Chinese attack in 1967.

Paltan tells a riveting, untold story of brave Indian soldiers who defeated the Chinese at Nathu La and Cho La in 1967, just five years after the 1962 Indo-China war.
