Vardhaan Puri to lead Param Veer; film honours 1971 Battle of Gangasagar

Vardhaan Puri is set to star in the upcoming war drama Param Veer, a film that will dramatise the 1971 Indo‑Pakistani Battle of Gangasagar. The project, whose title and poster have just been unveiled, promises to bring the heroic deeds of the soldiers who fought in that pivotal engagement to the big screen.

The film is both produced and directed by Sumant Raturi, with Sagar Gowda co‑producing. Production support comes from HVJ Media and Myradha Motion Pictures. While the cast list, plot details and release date remain undisclosed, Puri’s involvement has already generated buzz.

Speaking about his role, Puri described the project as a personal journey that has deepened his respect for the armed forces and their families. “Being a part of Param Veer has touched, moved, and inspired me in ways I could never have imagined,” he said. He added that working on a story centred on soldiers has given him a profound sense of gratitude and a greater respect for the sacrifices made by their families.

Puri also praised director Raturi’s vision and the team’s dedication to faithfully portraying the historical subject. “Sumant Sir’s vision, along with the love and conviction with which the entire team has brought this story to life, makes this film incredibly special,” he remarked. He expressed excitement for audiences to experience the film’s spirit.

Reflecting on the significance of the Battle of Gangasagar, Puri called the film an opportunity to honour the brave hearts who shaped that chapter of history. “The legend of the Battle of Gangasagar is not just a story from our history; it is a tribute to the bravehearts who shaped it, and a reminder that behind every soldier’s sacrifice are countless stories of courage, love, and dedication that deserve to be remembered,” he added.

With Param Veer rooted in India’s military past, the makers have yet to reveal further details about Puri’s character, the supporting cast or the film’s theatrical release. Fans of the actor and history buffs alike will be watching closely for updates on this promising project.
