With Ghazi, Reddy had highlighted the mysterious sinking of PNS Ghazi during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. This time around, he will revisit another chapter of history, underlining how some victories are won, not on the battlefield, but off it, with clever manoeuvres. “The film depicts what goes on before a triumph. A different kind of heroism is at play here. I connected with these themes when the story was narrated to me,” says the director. Shibasish Sarkar, group CEO, Reliance Entertainment, adds, “The significance of this part of Indian history has inspired us to produce this [film].” The thriller, written by Aditya Shastri and with screenplay by Storyhouse Films, will go on floors by the year-end.
