Rana
Daggubati
has
written
a
letter
to
the
President
of
India
Pranab
Mukherjee
drawing
attention
to
the
need
to
acknowledge
the
country's
unsung
heroes
by
saying
that
civilians
need
to
know
about
tales
of
bravery
from
our
Indian
armed
forces.
Rana's
upcoming
film
The
Ghazi
Attack
features
him
as
Lieutenant
Commander
Arjun
Varma,
who
was
part
of
a
mission
conducted
by
the
Indian
Navy
against
the
Pakistani
naval
force
in
1971.
Varma
is
said
to
have
remained
underwater
for
18
days
during
the
war.
During
the
course
of
working
on
the
film,
Rana
met
some
real
navy
officers
who
were
on
board.
Hearing
their
experiences
moved
the
actor
to
write
a
letter
to
the
President.
Rana
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Post
'Ghazi',
a
civilian
like
me
has
understood
a
lot
about
victorious
battles
that
have
been
fought
by
all
our
armed
forces
on
the
borders
so
as
to
keep
us
safe.
As
a
civilian
I
did
not
know
about
these
victorious
tales
and
like
me
there
are
many
others
who
did
not
know
much
about
it.
To
us,
it's
a
letter
to
acknowledge
these
heroes
and
make
sure
we
know
more
about
these
unsung
heroes
and
their
tales
of
victory."
His
movie
rekindles
the
mystery
of
what
caused
the
sinking
of
the
PNS
Ghazi.
It
also
features
Atul
Kulkarni,
Kay
Kay
Menon,
Taapsee
Panu
and
late
veteran
actor
Om
Puri.
The
Ghazi
Attack
is
set
to
hit
the
theatres
on
February
17,
2017.
