Randeep Hooda in Operation Khukri to pay tributes to Major General Punia

With patriotism high due to the recent happenings in the country following Indian Army's Operation Sindoor, Bollywood makers are coming with films on Indian army and their exploits.

According to the latest, Randeep Hooda is starring in a film titled Operation Khukri. He is playing the role of Major General Punia in the film. The film is based on the book, 'Operation Khukri: The Untold Story of the Indian Army’s Bravest Peacekeeping Mission Abroad'.

The rights have been acquired by Rahul Mittra Films and Randeep Hooda Films. Randeep Hooda speaking to scribes revealed “'Operation Khukri' is a story that moved me deeply. It’s not just a tale of guns and glory, but of sacrifice, brotherhood, and unyielding courage in the face of insurmountable odds. 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 - 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.”

Major General Raj Pal Punia undertook the daring mission in Sierra Leone and it highlights how 233 Indian soldiers trapped for 75 days in enemy territory braved against all odds without food, water and any help to comeout successfully.
