Major Ravi, best known for helming army-based films, last made 1971: Beyond Borders (2017) with Mohanlal. In 2020, the director had announced a film based on the Indo-Chinese conflict. Titled Bridge on Galwan, it was supposed to be primarily centred around the construction of the strategic bridge on Galwan valley that was a key trigger for the issues between the two countries. However, there have been no updates regarding the project since then.
