The
makers
of
Paltan
have
gone
an
extra
mile
as
the
makers
stay
true
to
their
research
backend
approach
for
the
film.
Lieutenant
Attar
Singh
and
Major
Bishan
Singh
and
family
of
Captain
Dagar
(real
war
hero
who
was
part
of
the
war
in
1967)
helped
the
makers
to
recreate
the
sets
in
Ladakh
and
throughout
the
film.
While
talking
about
his
encounter
with
the
real-life
soldiers,
JP
Dutta
shared,
"I
meet
all
the
officers
with
the
help
of
their
respective
battalions.
The
commanding
officer
of
the
battalion
gives
me
the
contact
and
then
I
start
my
research.
Attar
Singh
came
on
our
sets
and
he
pointed
out
and
zeroed
in
on
the
feature
that
was
closest
to
Nathula".
He
further
added,
"They
live
in
Delhi
and
Jaipur
respectively...
I
have
met
their
families
and
interacted
with
them
very
closely".
JP
Dutta
who
almost
took
a
year
for
the
research
shared,
"It
look
me
close
to
a
year...
I
start
with
getting
in
touch
with
the
heroes
and
their
families
and
then
I
start
getting
my
facts
right
and
keep
it
as
real
as
I
possibly
can
for
cinema".
