Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri and producer Bhushan Kumar have teamed up for Operation Sindoor— a film based on the book ‘Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India’s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan’ by Lt Gen K.J.S. Tiny Dhillon.
The film draws inspiration from the codename of India’s targeted military strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which were conducted in response to the Pahalgam attack, where three terrorists killed 26 civilians on April 22, 2025.
Speaking about the film, Vivek said in a statement, “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. My intention is not to create noise, but to confront it—with facts, with clarity, and the magic of cinema.”
Bhushan added, “Some stories are not chosen, they choose you. Operation Sindoor is one such story—one that demands to be told with honesty, courage, and responsibility. This is not just a film. It is a revelation. When a nation goes through events of such magnitude, it becomes important to document them truthfully.”
More details from the film are awaited.
