Chitrangda to make film on Param Vir Chakra recipient Yogendra Yadav
New Delhi/UNI: Bollywood actress Chitrangda Singh, who had earlier produced ‘Soorma’, has now bagged the rights of an inspirational story of Subedar Major and Honorary Captain Yogendra Singh Yadav.
Yadav fought in the 1999 Kargil war, and till date is the youngest ever to receive the Param Vir Chakra at the age of 19.
He also remains one of the three only living recipients of the Param Vir Chakra (PVC) ever in the country’s history and has since continued to serve in the Indian Army.
"I’m very excited to tell stories of real heroes that are many times forgotten even though they still live amongst us. We need to glorify their journey.
"This will be another attempt to do what I tried with 'Soorma'," the 'Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi' actor said.
The rights of the movie are with CSfilms co-owned with Deepak Singh.
