“I am so happy that the film is releasing around Valentine’s Day. It shows the love for the country, love for the army men, and love for the people who are not only fighting on the border but also fighting inside the country. You will also get to know how these people accomplish a mission which looks impossible”. said Manoj Bajpayee.
