Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan is all set to direct a biopic on the life of Arun Khetarpal, second lieutenant of the Indian army and a posthumous recipient of the Pram Vir Chakra. Tentatively titled Arun, the biopic will be produced under Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films. Arun attained martyrdom at 21 during the Indo Pakistan war of 1971.

While Raghavan will be directing the film, writer Ritesh Shah of Pink fame will be penning the script. "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", Dinesh said in a statement.
