Mumbai: Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, whose next project is based on Operation Sindoor, said that his film will be rooted in reality and aim to confront issues rather than create noise.
“Bhushan Kumar and I have joined forces for #OperationSindoor — a story that redefined security in the subcontinent and exposed Pakistan’s nuclear bluff. The film is based on Lt Gen K.J.S. ‘Tiny’ Dhillon’s book Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India’s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan,” the filmmaker posted on his X account.
“Rooted in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and backed by extensive, ground-level research in collaboration with multiple wings of the Indian Armed Forces, this is a story drawn from reality… not to create noise, but to confront it: with facts, with clarity, and the magic of cinema,” Agnigotri wrote.
The film will be jointly produced by Agnihotri’s banner I Am Buddha Production and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series.

India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7, 2025 in response to the deadly April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 innocent men, mostly tourists.
India’s Armed forces targeted and destroyed nine terror hubs across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, leading to a four-day standoff as Pakistan retaliated.
PM Narendra Modi said Operation Sindoor has created a new awakening, a new self-confidence across the country, forcing the world to acknowledge India’s strength.
