This forthcoming film will be the second film on February 26 airstrike against terror outfits in Balakot, Pakistan after Vivek Oberoi’s film Balakot – The True Story.
The strike followed the February 14 terror attack targeting the CRPF in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district in which over 40 jawans were killed.
