Mumbai: Actor Arjun Rampal, who is set to feature in JP Dutta’s Paltan, says he always wanted to work in a great war film. “Always wanted to do a good war film. Play a true soldier. As that is a backdrop I grew up in. JP sir’s Paltan promises to be all of the above. I am so charged up to be a part of it as I believe I couldn’t be in better hands,” Arjun said in a statement. According to sources Paltan will boast of an exciting ensemble star cast.
Dutta has films like Border, Refugee and LOC Kargil to his credit. The first look of Paltan was shared recently and it shows silhouettes of army men treading an uneven path, with a tagline: “Brother to my right. Brother to my left. Together we stand. Together we fight.” The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Gurmeet Choudhary and Sonu Sood.
Produced by JP Films and directed by Dutta, the film will go on the floors later this year, and is scheduled for a summer 2018 release.
