Vivek Oberoi Gets Permission From The Indian Air Force To Make A Film About Abhinandan And Balakot Air Strike

Looks like now it is time for another action-packed army movie!  Vivek Oberoi has obtained permission from the Indian Air Force to make a film about the Balakot airstike of 2018. The film will majorly focus on the wing commander Abhimanyu Varthaman who recently was awarded the Vir Chakra and Minty Aggarwal who became the first woman to be honored with a Yudh Sewa medal.

The casting of the film has not been decided yet but it is being reported that Vivek Oberoi is keen on casting big names from the industry and the film will be shot in Kashmir, Delhi, and Agra. The shooting is set to commence from next year onwards.

For the uninitiated, Abhinandan Varthaman grabbed headlines when he was captured and subsequently released by Pakistani forces after organizing a strike near Balakot in response to the Pulwama attack. Minty Aggarwal was also instrumental in intercepting the Pakistani jet fighters.
