Vivek, Bhushan confirm Op Sindoor film, say 'some stories choose you'

After reports about Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri helming a film on Operation Sindoor, India’s military response to the April 2025 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, we have learnt that it is based on Lt Gen KJS ‘Tiny’ Dhillon’s book, Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India's Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan.

Speaking to us, Vivek, 52, calls the story both urgent and necessary. “I have always believed in telling stories that are uncomfortable but necessary. My effort is to bring this story of courage, professionalism, and strategic clarity to audiences with authenticity, while also presenting it as an edge-of-the-seat cinematic experience,” he tells us.
