Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s I Am Buddha Productions have announced their collaboration on a new film titled Operation Sindoor. The movie is based on the book Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India’s Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan by Lt Gen KJS ‘Tiny’ Dhillon (Retd) and will be directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri.
The film is inspired by India’s targeted military strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. These operations marked a significant moment in India’s strategic history, demonstrating precision and resolve in response to the 2025 Pahalgam massacre, where many innocent civilians, mostly tourists, were killed.

Producer Bhushan Kumar described the project as a story that demands to be told with honesty and responsibility. He said, “Some stories are not chosen, they choose you. Operation Sindoor is one such story—one that demands to be told with honesty, courage, and responsibility. This is not just a film. It is a revelation. When a nation goes through events of such magnitude, it becomes important to document them truthfully.”
Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri emphasised the film’s focus on authenticity and strategic clarity. He stated, “With Operation Sindoor, India has not just taken revenge for the Pahalgam terror attack and punished Pakistan, but it has also demonstrated its might in modern warfare. We have conducted extensive, ground-level research in collaboration with multiple wings of the Indian Armed Forces to understand not just what happened, but how and why it happened. What emerges is a reality far more complex, far more precise, and far more unsettling than what is available in the public domain.”
Agnihotri added that the film aims to present a story of courage and professionalism, avoiding sensationalism while offering a compelling cinematic experience. He said, “My intention is not to create noise, but to confront it—with facts, with clarity, and the magic of cinema.”
Earlier, in an interview with IndiaToday.in, Agnihotri said he is working on a “big nationalistic project” but refrained from revealing the details. “I am not disclosing any name. I am saying I am working on a big nationalistic project, and I will announce it at my own time. It’s very big, very interesting,” he said.
While further details about the cast and release timeline are yet to be revealed, Operation Sindoor marks the first collaboration between Bhushan Kumar and Vivek Agnihotri on a project of this scale and subject. The film is expected to blend real-life events with a cinematic narrative, continuing the trend of politically and historically rooted storytelling in mainstream Hindi cinema.
