The makers of Ishaan Khatter and Mrunal Thakur starrer Pippa dropped the teaser of the war drama and also announced the release date of the film on the occasion of Independence Day.
The film is directed by Raja Krishna Menon. Pippa is based on the book ‘The Burning Chaffees,’ written by Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta and the screenplay is by Ravinder Randhawa, Tanmay Mohan and Menon.
Pippa is backed by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP and Siddharth Roy Kapur’s Roy Kapur Films.
The film was earlier slated to release on December now, however, it will now reach the theatres a week early on December 2.
Ishaan will be seen playing Captain Mehta of the 45th Cavalry tank squadron who fought on India’s eastern front during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, which led to the creation of Bangladesh. The film’s title is a reference to the Russian amphibious tank called the PT-76, popularly known as ‘Pippa’, which features prominently in the film.
Sharing the teaser on Instagram, Ishaan wrote, “PIPPA in cinemas December 2nd, 2022.On the momentous occasion of our country’s Independence Day – presenting a glimpse from a film we’ve collectively put our heart, gut and soul into.
