Sooraj Pancholi Wants To Screen SATELLITE SHANKAR For The Army
| |||||
Since the Pulwama attack, Sooraj Pancholi, who plays a soldier in 'Satellite Shankar', has been waiting to do something for Indian Army. The actor notices soldiers’ sacrifice a lot for the sake of national security. He recollects the time when he was shooting a few kilometers away from an army base in Chitkul, Himachal Pradesh, six months ago. The film’s makers re-created a fake army base to shoot the film without disturbing the armed forces. The location shared borders with Himachal Pradesh & is 19 hours away from Chandigarh and is one of the last posts on the Indo-China border. Recalling the shoot, the actor said: “That experience just changed my approach to life. Those jawaans there in Chitkul hadn’t seen their folks in months, they have to travel 10 km to get a phone line. It’s a tough life. We must respect their sacrifices to ensure we never lose touch with our life and people. As a mark of respect for them and for the fact that I play a soldier. And I represent them and their thoughts in this film, I want to screen 'Satellite Shankar' for them.” 'Satellite Shankar', starring Sooraj Pancholi and Megha Akash, is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar and Ashwin Varde. It is written by Vishal Vijay Kumar and directed by Irfan Kamal. T-Series and Cine1 Studios produced 'Satellite Shankar' is slated to release on July 5th, 2019.
