Jackie Shroff to play war hero Major General Sagat Singh in ‘Paltan’

With just a day left for the release of J P Dutta’s war drama ‘Paltan’, makers of the film have shared a video paying a tribute to Major General Sagat Singh, a role essayed by Jackie Shroff.

The makers shared the video saying ” ‘A true story to be told.’ #PaltanInCinemasTomorrow #KnowYourPaltan Book tickets now #Paltan @ZeeStudios_ #JPFilms @RealNidhiDutta @bindasbhidu @rampalarjun @SonuSood @gurruchoudhary @harsha_actor @SiddhanthKapoor @LuvSinha”.

The character of Jackie Shroff is seen dealing with situations while heading the troop making tough decisions.

‘Paltan’ is all set to complete India’s biggest war trilogy after winning hearts of the audience with Border and LOC Kargil.

While the earlier two films showcased India’s wars with Pakistan, J P Dutta’s upcoming war film ‘Paltan’ showcases the lesser known battle at Nathula pass.

The trailer depicts the struggles of Indian Army after the much publicised defeat at the 1962 Indo-China war and the determination to protect our motherland by the battalion at Nathula Pass.

Based on true events, Paltan highlights the spirit of armed forces “We before I”.

Zee Studios and J P Dutta Films’ upcoming war drama Paltan starring an ensemble cast of Arjun Rampal, Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Choudhary, Harshvardhan Rane and Siddhant Kapoor amongst others, Paltan will complete India’s biggest war trilogy.

Based on the Nathu La military clashes of 1967 which took place along the Sikkim border, ‘Paltan’ showcases an untold story of the Indian forces facing off in an intense battle to ward off a Chinese infiltration.

Renowned filmmaker J P Dutta returns to direction after 12 years with ‘Paltan’.

The national-award-winning director had earlier treated the audience with war films like Border, LOC Kargil, and Refugee among others.

With power-packed performances, the film promises to tell the riveting, untold story of the bravest of Indian soldiers who fought with their brothers next to them till the end.

Presented by Zee Studios and produced by J P Dutta Films, ‘Paltan’ is set to release on September 7.
