Vivek Agnihotri, Bhushan Kumar Announce ‘Operation Sindoor’ Film Based on Lt Gen Dhillon’s Book

The announcement casts a recent cross-border operation as a research-led, reality-driven retelling.

Overview

  • Agnihotri and T-Series said Thursday they will make Operation Sindoor, with Agnihotri directing and co-producing with his I Am Buddha banner.
  • The film adapts Lt Gen K.J.S. ‘Tiny’ Dhillon’s account of India’s May 6–10, 2025 strikes that followed the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians, mostly tourists.
  • The makers say they carried out ground-level research with multiple wings of the Indian Armed Forces to shape the on-screen detail.
  • Casting, production timeline and release plans have not been announced, with only the subject and source confirmed so far.
  • Industry reports note earlier bids to secure the title and a rival project, including a Jio Studios trademark filing that was later withdrawn.
