Ishaan Khatter and Mrunal Thakur to start preparation for war drama Pippa!

Bollywood's newbie star Ishaan Khatter, Mrunal Thakur and Priyanshu Painyuli starrer Pippa was announced earlier but shooting for the same is yet to begin.

 

Now, as per latest media updates, the team of Pippa is now looking forward to begin filming for the war drama if conditions allow. The movie which revolves around the 1971 India-Pakistan war will include some intense action scenes and thus a grand production for the same is required. While various restrictions will make it hard for Pippa to be shot, the team has now been revealed that the film may go on floors in September. A source disclosed to the portal, "The film, set against the backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, will require multiple levels of prep. The actors’ reading sessions will begin by mid-August."

 

Besides the reading sessions, the main cast will also have to begin physical prep. "They not only have to fully familiarise themselves with the Battle of Garibpur that forms the crux of the story, but also have to physically prep from the first week of August to do justice to the combat and war sequences on camera," the source further added.

 

Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, Pippa is based on Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta’s book titled The Burning Chaffees.
