Sanjay Dutt and Bunty Walia have decided to make a movie based on the battle of Saragrahi. For those of you who don’t know what that is, the battle of Saragrahi was fought during the Tirah campaign in the north-west frontier (now a part of Pakistan) of British India. Many Sikh soldiers sacrificed their lives defending an army post in the battle. According to a daily, Bunty being a Sikh himself has wanted to make a film on the subject for a very long time now. And this venture is like a dream come true to him. He then spoke to Sanjay Dutt about the idea who loved it.
The film titled, 21 Battle of Saragrahi - From Ashes to Glory will be produced under the banner of Sanjay Dutt Productions and G S Entertainment and directed by Rohit Jugraj. Sanjay Dutt will be playing Havildar Ishar Singh, who’d led the Sikh onslaught in that battle. 20 others have to be roped in for the cast as well.
The film will have some special effects for which Hollywood technicians have been roped in. With a budget estimated at Rs 200 crore, this could pass as the costliest Bollywood film ever made.
