Bhaijan
director,
Kabir
Khan
has
come

with
a
battalion
of
the
Indian
National

playing
cricket
in
the
woods
when

are
attacked
by
the

The

is
said
to

Hind
Fauj
was
being

The
director
earlier
in
1996
had
made
a
documentary
on
the
same
story,
under
the
same
name,
The
Forgotten
Army.
He
then
created
a
screenplay
for
the
web
series
based
on
his
documentary.
This
series
is
set
to
be
Kabir
Khan's
digital
debut
and
promises
an
untold
story
of
India's
loss
and
victory.
According
to
India
Today,
Kabir
had
tracked
down
two
veterans
of
Indian
National
Army
-
Captain
Lakshmi
Sehgal,
the
commander
of
the
women's
infantry
unit-
Rani
Jhansi
regiment
and
Colonel
Gurubaksh
Singh
Dhillon.
The
two
narrated
the
events
from
the
war
and
helped
Kabir
gather
facts
for
the
documentary.
In
2020,
Kabir
will
also
be
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
83',
another
film
based
on
true
events.
The
Ranveer
Singh
starrer
will
share
the
heroic
tale
of
Indian
Cricket
team
that
won
India's
first
Cricket
World
Cup
in
1983
under
Kapil
Dev's
Captainship.
