Mumbai: Aamir Khan Productions has announced an international collaboration for its upcoming film ‘Silkyara 41’, with an Australian production banner as partner.
Starring Arnold Dix, the film will be directed by Kabir Khan and is set to bring the inspiring Silkyara tunnel rescue story to the big screen.
Sharing the announcement of ‘Silkyara 41’ on its Instagram handle on Friday, Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) posted: “Proud to announce SILKYARA 41, a landmark cinematic collaboration between Aamir Khan Productions, Mind Blowing Films, and Kabir Khan Films, inspired by the extraordinary true story of the Silkyara Tunnel rescue and the remarkable role of Professor Arnold Dix.”
“More than a film, Silkyara 41 is a celebration of courage, resilience, international collaboration, and the enduring power of the human spirit. As India and Australia enter a new chapter in their friendship, this story stands as a testament to what can be achieved when people come together with one purpose: to bring every worker home safely.”
The Silkyara Tunnel in Uttarakhand made national headlines in 2023 after a collapse trapped 41 construction workers inside for 17 days. The workers were eventually rescued after a major rescue operation.
Kabir’s last directorial venture was the 2024 film ‘Chandu Champion’, starring Kartik Aaryan.
