"I’m very excited to tell stories of real heroes that are many times forgotten even though they still live amongst us. We need to glorify their journey," Chitrangda Singh said. 

This will be another attempt to do what I tried with 'Soorma'," the 'Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi' actor said.

The rights of the movie are with CSfilms co-owned with Deepak Singh. (with UNI inputs)
