Vikramaditya Motwane to helm film on 1971 Indo-Pak war operation

On the occasion of the 75th Republic Day, filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane announced that he will be making a film on India's naval and maritime war operation called The Trident.

The operation was conducted during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War when a contingent of Navy soldiers bombed the Karachi port.  

The operation was executed under the command of Babrubhan Yadav and Admiral Nanda.

The film, tentatively called Operation Trident, is going to be produced by Nikhil Dwivedi, who is currently in talks with IMAX to come on board as a partner.

According to sources, two superstars have already been approached to play the respective parts of Yadav and Nanda. They have given their consent in principle. Details about the rest of the cast have still been kept under wraps.

While the film is still in its initial stage, the pre-production has already started and the film is slated to go on floors by April 2024.
