The director looks like he is back with a bang
After 12 years, JP Dutta is back with a film based on his favourite subject, patriotism, Paltan. The veteran director who has given us power-packed and emotionally riveting stories centered around men at war has brought together an ensemble cast for this multi-starrer. Paltan has the 1962 Indo-China war as its backdrop. Unlike his other films, this one revolves more around the camaraderie and how families of soldiers cope up when their loved ones are fighting the enemy. The film is slated to hit the marquee on September 7, 2018. If it releases on that date, it will clash with Sushant Singh Rajput and Jacqueline Fernandez’s Drive.
Paltan’s star cast includes Arjun Rampal, Harshvardhan Rane, Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Chaudhary and Siddhant Kapoor. Actresses like Esha Gupta, Sonal Chauhan and Dipika Kakar are also part of the film. It has been shot majorly in Leh-Ladakh and in Chandigarh. Esha was selected after the makers saw that she was really good in period dramas whether it was Rustom or Baadshaho. Dipika also wrote on Twitter that she was blessed to be part of a JP Dutta film as her debut.
The film was in the news when Abhishek Bachchan walked out of the project at the last minute. It seems his decision caused a lot of grief to JP Dutta who directed Junior Bachchan in his debut film, Refugee. However, at the end everything was sorted out. The veteran filmmaker’s daughter is also actively involved in the project. Stay tuned to here for more updates…
