Films inspired by true-life events are a hit with the audidence these days. It's time to see yet another engrossing story about unsung heroes whose ultimate sacrifice we never knew about.
This morning, the makers of The Ghazi Attack released the first trailer of the film and we are totally digging into it. The film which is touted to be India's first war-at-sea film stars Rana Daggubati and Taapsee Pannu.
The Ghazi Attack is an epic underwater tale of the immense courage and undying patriotism of the men aboard the Indian submarine S-21 who destroyed the Pakistani submarine PNS Ghazi when it ventured into Indian waters with the ambition of destroying INS Vikrant and conquering the Visakhapatnam port on the eastern coast of India in 1971. The plot of the film revolves around an executive naval officer and his team who had remained underwater for 18 days.

What makes the film even more interesting is its stellar cast which comprises of Kay Kay Menon, Atul Kulkarni and the late Om Puri! The film boosts of some excellent production values and we are already hooked to whatever little glimpse of the war scenes that we got in the trailer.
Rana Daggubati shed weight for his role of Arjun, a naval officer and the film has seen never before seen stunts. The actor was earlier quoted saying, "For the first time in our cinema, you will see daring underwater stunts. We shot for them for 12 days taking all necessary precautions. While one part was shot in the Olympic pool, large parts of the underwater stunts were shot in the oceans off the coast of Vizag."
He further added, "It was dangerous because we didn't know what we would encounter deep inside the ocean. We had to look out for sudden underwater currents. Sometimes pieces of metal would suddenly come at us. The terrain was unknown so it was both thrilling and a challenge to shoot. To shoot such scenes, one has to be trained specially. Luckily for me, I am already a certified deep sea diver with a professional diving license. But I also took some additional training for this shoot which was choreographed professionally,"
The film has Taapsee Pannu playing a Bangladeshi refugee. Presented by Karan Johar and directed by Sankalp Reddy, the bilingual flick is slated to release on 12th February, 2017.
