Randeep Hooda, who was last seen in Jaat, is all set to headline a gripping military drama based on one of the Indian Army바카라s most successful missions.
The film is titled Operation Khukri, which is inspired by the real-life events of 2000, that tells the story of 233 soldiers who were held hostage in Sierra Leone (West Africa) by rebel forces and how Indian Army took the high risk rescue mission.
The film is based on India바카라s bestseller Operation Khukri: The Untold Story. Rahul Mittra Films and Randeep Hooda Films have already secured the adaptation rights.
Randeep will play Major General Raj Pal Punia (then a young Company Commander of the 14th Mechanised Infantry), who carried out the extraordinary rescue amid intense jungle warfare.
Speaking about his upcoming project, Hooda, in a statement, shared that the story moved him deeply, calling it not "just a tale of guns and glory, but of sacrifice, brotherhood, and unyielding courage in the face of insurmountable odds."
On his character, he said, "To step into the shoes of Major General Punia, a man who led his men out of a 75-day siege in an unknown land, is an honour and a responsibility."
"Our aim is to bring to life a chapter of Indian military history that deserves far more recognition 바카라 not just for the spectacle, but for the spirit of our soldiers who would rather die than surrender. I believe this story has the power to inspire every Indian," he added.
