Vivek Agnihotri confirms film on Operation Sindoor
Vivek Agnihotri confirmed the movie on Operation Sindoor to Hindustan Times by stating that it is a story that needs to be told. Adapted from Lt Gen KJS ‘Tiny’ Dhillon’s book, Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India’s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan, the film will address the events that led up to Operation Sindoor and the strikes that were carried out. It will narrate the timeline from May 6 to May 10, 2025.
“I have always believed in telling stories that are uncomfortable but necessary. My effort is to bring this story of courage, professionalism, and strategic clarity to audiences with authenticity, while also presenting it as an edge-of-the-seat cinematic experience,” Vivek Agnihotri shared, adding that a ground-level research was conducted for the upcoming movie.
Speaking on the yet-to-be-titled movie, the filmmaker shared, “We have conducted ground-level research in collaboration with multiple wings of the Armed Forces to understand not just what happened, but how and why it happened. What emerges is far more complex and precise than what’s available in the public domain.” More details on the project, including the cast, schedule, shoot location are under wraps/yet to be finalized.
Vivek Agnihotri’s recent outing
Vivek Agnihotri last helmed The Bengal Files. Originally titled The Delhi Files, the movie is the third installment after The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files. While The Tashkent Files questioned what happened with Lal Bahadur Shastri, The Kashmir Files was adapted from the real-life incident – exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. The Bengal Files was based on the events of India’s partition with Pakistan and Bangladesh.
