Excited about the opportunity to bring this inspiring story to the big screen, Amit Sharma, in a statement published in a Mid-Day report, expressed his enthusiasm for the project. “I am thrilled to be collaborating with Athena E&M and Chrome Pictures on this monumental film,” he said. “Operation Khukri is a story that deserves to be told, and I am committed to doing justice to the bravery and sacrifice of our soldiers.”

Recognizing the scale and complexity of the operation, the director acknowledged the challenges ahead. “Recreating the magnitude of this mission, involving multiple branches of the Indian Armed Forces will be a formidable task,” he said. “Additionally, accurately portraying events that unfolded in a foreign country adds another layer of complexity.”

Koli expressed his excitement about the project, stating, “The sheer scale of Operation Khukri and the immense pride associated with the rescue mission makes it an incredibly compelling story to adapt for the screen.”
