Pippa: Priyanshu Painyuli Is Now Busy Reading The Book 'The Burning Chaffees', Calls It 'A Story Of Love And Humanity'

The moment Pippa had been announced, it commanded our attention. The film, starring Ishaan Khatter, Priyanshu Painyuli, and Mrunal Thakur, would be an adaptation of 'The Burning Chaffees' by Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta and would recount how he, along with his siblings, fought on the eastern front in 1971 during the Indo-Pak War. Ahead of the workshops, Priyanshu has now immersed himself in reading the book.

Talking to Mid Day, he said, "Brigadier Mehta's story was first chronicled in the book. The written word often has a strong impact on the mind. It's necessary to know the plot points and milieu, and experience it as a reader before I start filming the project."

While he must have loved the script which is being adapted by Raja Krishna Menon, he is also loving the book. When asked about it, he quipped, "It's a story of love and humanity. The book will help drill into me the essence and wholesome perspective of the film. We start our workshops in a few weeks."

The actor, who had earlier appeared in Extraction and Mirzapur 2, also tied the knot in his hometown a few weeks back. Now, we can't wait to see him light up the screens again.
