Mumbai: Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is set to direct a new feature film based on Operation Sindoor, India's military response to the April 2025 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.

The film will be jointly produced by Agnihotri's banner I Am Buddha Production and Bhushan Kumar's T-Series.

The story of the film is based on Lt Gen K.J.S. 'Tiny' Dhillon's book 'Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India's Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan.' The makers say the film is based on real events and detailed research done with inputs from different wings of the Indian Armed Forces.

On April 22 2025, terrorists attacked tourists at the Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen while leaving several others injured. The attack was one of the deadliest in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama strike, in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans were killed.
