Varun Dhawan
We had informed our readers earlier that Badlapur duo Varun Dhawan and Sriram Raghavan are teaming up again for a film on Param Vir Chakra recipient Arun Khetrapal and the film now has a title. The movie has been named Ekkis.
The film is being produced by Dinesh Vijan, who got the rights, after her learned about Khetrapal’s story while he was in Meerut for Lukka Chuppi’s shoot. The film at its core is a father-son story and when Dinesh Vijan narrated it to Raghavan he got very emotional. In fact, this is the first time that he directing a film on a story not written by him.
Second lieutenant Arun Khetrpal was killed in action in the Battle of Basantar in the Battlefield of Shakargarh during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
