Bhushan Kumar, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri announce Operation Sindoor, a film based on India’s attacks deep inside Pakistan
The film is based on the book ‘Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India’s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan’ by Lieutenant General KJS ‘Tiny’ Dhillon (Retd) and aims to bring to the screen a story based on military strategy, courage and national security. Taking inspiration from the codenames of Pakistan and India’s targeted strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the film seeks to capture what has been described as a defining moment in India’s strategic history.
According to the makers, the story also serves as a response to the tragic Pahalgam terrorist attack of 2025 in Jammu and Kashmir, where several innocent civilians, most of whom were tourists, lost their lives. The film aims to explore the events that followed, presenting them through a cinematic lens based on research and realism.
Producer Bhushan Kumar shared his perspective on supporting the project saying, “Some stories are not chosen, they choose you. Operation Sindoor is a story – one that demands to be told with honesty, courage and responsibility. It is not just a film. It is a revelation. When a country goes through such huge events, it becomes important to document them truthfully.”
Expressing similar views, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri emphasized the scale and depth of the project. “This is not just a movie. It is a revelation. With Operation Sindoor, India has not only avenged the Pahalgam terror attack and punished Pakistan, but it has also demonstrated its prowess in modern warfare. We have conducted extensive, ground-level research in collaboration with multiple wings of the Indian Armed Forces to understand not only what happened, but how and why it happened. What has emerged is far more complex, far more accurate and far more accurate than what is available in the public domain. There is a more destabilizing reality.
He said, “I have always believed in telling stories that are uncomfortable but necessary. My endeavor is to bring this story of courage, professionalism and strategic clarity to the audience with authenticity, while also presenting it as a cutting-edge cinematic experience. My intention is not to create noise, but to confront it – with facts, with clarity and with the magic of cinema.”
Operation Sindoor It is presented as a film that explores the intersection of strategy, courage and truth, aiming to present a chapter of modern warfare as a statement, not just spectacle. More details about the cast and release timeline are currently under wraps and are expected to be announced soon.
