Paltan
Staying true to his research-backed approach to war dramas, filmmaker JP Dutta ensured he did extensive homework on the 1967 Indo-China military clashes before going behind the camera for Paltan. The director reveals that he found able support in Lieutenant Attar Singh and Major Bishan Singh, who were part of the clash that took place along the Sikkim border.
While Major Singh took over as the company commander with Captain PS Dagar as his second-in-command, Lieutenant Singh was part of the 2 Grenadiers unit during the skirmish. The former Army officers, along with the family of Captain Prithvi Singh Dagar (who lost his life in the battle), helped the makers recreate Nathu La — which served as the war front — in Ladakh.
