On
the
morning
of
December-31st,
2020,
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
tweeted:
"An
irreparable
loss!
Colonel
Narinder
'Bull'
Kumar
(Retd)
served
the
nation
with
exceptional
courage
and
diligence.
His
special
bond
with
the
mountains
will
be
remembered." And
Indeed
it
will.
Commemorating
his
life,
producers
Ramon
Chibb
and
Anku
Pande
of
Manomay
Motion
Pictures
have
acquired
the
rights
to
retell
his
incredible
story
on
celluloid.
BULL
-
the
movie
on
Late
Col
Narinder
'Bull
Kumar',
is
an
untold
story
of
true
leadership,
guts
and
glory.
This
is
a
story
of
a
battle
against
the
harshest
enemy
of
all
-
mother
nature,
against
whom
the
strongest
have
often
succumbed.
A
story
of
a
strong-willed,
determined
army
officer
who
refused
to
give
up
-
"Jo
karna
hai
So
karna
hai"
was
Bull
Kumar's
motto.
In
1981,
this
soldier
and
his
team
lay
claim
to
the
highest
peaks
at
altitudes
beyond
24,000
feet
and
proudly
planted
the
Indian
tri-colour
there.
They
did
this
without
any
maps
or
high-tech
equipment
-
their
boots
were
not
waterproof,
and
their
jackets
were
not
made
of
down
feather.
They
had
to
navigate
tricky
crevasses
and
stay
ahead
of
avalanches
while
braving
temperatures
that
dipped
to
a
numbing
-50
degrees
Celsius.
The
"reconnaissance" mission
was
not
an
official
army
operation.
That
meant
that
if
Bull
Kumar
and
his
band
of
brothers
were
to
fall
into
enemy
hands,
no
one
would
claim
them.
