"When I heard the story of Arun Khetarapal, I was inspired. He is the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra. What he did and the kind of life he lived was absolutely exemplary and unbelievable," Vijan said in a statement. He says it is a huge huge responsibility to make a film with such an inspirational message. "Arun involves a lot of passion since we all are moved by it. We are doing our homework," he added.

Talking about working with Raghavan, Vijan shared, "Sriram is one of the most talented directors around, and (writer) Ritesh (Shah) is as passionate, so I feel it's the perfect team."

The script of the film is likely to be finalized in the next couple of weeks. The makers will need six months of prep and so the film is expected to go on floors next year.

Raghavan is known for directing films like Ek Hasina Thi, Johnny Gaddaar and
Agent Vinod.
