His mastery of both the dramatic and patriotic roles, along with the recognition of the Indian cinema for over forty years, confirms the filmmakers’ aspiration for the range and impact that are beyond the usual action flicks, thereby provoking the corresponding audience.

Still, there are also powerful speculations that he might be a part of the film through a short appearance or in the portrayal of a senior military position, representing the courage and resilience of Indian soldiers.
Fan and Industry Buzz
The news about the cast has generated a lot of buzz among fans of different age groups.
