<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe conversation around Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri\u2019s next has taken a clearer shape. After initial reports of him planning a film on Operation Sindoor \u2014 India\u2019s military response to the April 2025 terror attack in Pahalgam \u2014 it is now learnt that the project draws from Lt Gen KJS \u2018Tiny\u2019 Dhillon\u2019s book, Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India\u2019s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan.<\/p>\n Positioning the film as both timely and significant, Agnihotri says the idea is to go beyond headlines and capture the depth of the operation.\u201cI 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,\u201d he told Hindustan Times.The film will chronicle the events between May 6 and May 10, 2025, offering a detailed look at how the operation unfolded.<\/p>\n Backed by I Am Buddha Production and T-Series, led by Bhushan Kumar, the project is being mounted as a research-heavy narrative.Agnihotri revealed, \u201cWe 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\u2019s available in the public domain.\u201d <\/p>\n Watch<\/span><\/p>\n Anupam Kher Calls ‘The Bengal Files’ Shocking & Disturbing After Watching It in Theatre<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Echoing the sentiment, Bhushan Kumar calls the film a significant undertaking rather than just a cinematic retelling.\u201cSome stories are not chosen; they choose you. Operation Sindoor is one such story. When a nation goes through events of such magnitude, it becomes important to document them truthfully,\u201d he said.Casting choices and release timelines remain undisclosed at this stage, with the makers expected to reveal more in the coming months. <\/p>\n The film follows Agnihotri\u2019s recent work, The Bengal Files, which concluded his investigative trilogy after The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files.With Operation Sindoor, the filmmaker appears set to return to a familiar space \u2014 blending real events with cinematic storytelling, while aiming to spark conversation around recent history.<\/div>\nA story of scale, strategy and sacrifice<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
