Akash
Thosar
who
will
be
seen
as
one
of
the
Bravehearts,
recently
revealed
that
his
childhood
dream
was
to
join
the
armed
forces.
He
said,
"The
series
1962:
The
War
in
the
Hills
is
a
dream
project
for
me!
Ever
since
I
was
a
child,
I
had
a
dream
of
joining
the
Indian
Army
and
I
had
also
tried
giving
my
tests
twice
to
get
selected
before
getting
into
the
movie
industry.
Not
only
an
army
officer
but
I
also
tried
to
enroll
myself
in
the
police
services.
If
I
wasn't
an
actor,
my
career
was
definite
to
be
joining
the
forces
to
protect
our
country."
He
further
added,
"The
first
time
I
was
given
an
opportunity
to
play
the
role
of
an
army
soldier,
my
heart
was
filled
with
happiness
and
pride.
If
not
in
real
life,
I
was
glad
to
be
wearing
the
uniform
in
my
reel
life.
Whenever
I
wore
the
uniform
I
felt
differently,
as
if
I
was
actually
a
part
of
the
army
and
would
look
at
myself
that
way"
Akash
Thosar
will
essay
the
role
of
Kishan
who
is
part
of
the
battalion
led
by
Major
Suraj
Singh
(Abhay
Deol).
