“This film would be a tribute to the people who understood their duty and sacrificed their lives in restoring normalcy and peace in Jammu and Kashmir. It would also be a message to misguided people that patriotism and protecting the society is an ultimate duty of every individual,” the DGP said.

“I feel sharing the concept with the people immediately after Waseem Ashraf met me and narrated the idea. Waseem has witnessed the ill effects of terrorism more closely as his father and mother both were martyred by terrorists when he was only 14,” he said.

The film story is written and will be directed by Karamat Gorsi.

“Pertinent to mention that Waseem Ashraf , the producer of the film, is the eldest son of a Police martyr, Head Constable Late Mohd Ashraf who along with his wife Late Naseer Bano was martyred by terrorists at their home in Rajouri district in 2005,” police said in a statement.
