Bollywood makers are often observant about the surroundings and rush to make movies in the present situation. A past few years have been years of biopics and real-life incident inspired films. We saw a film on Uri: The Surgical Strike starring Vicky Kaushal in the lead that was based on the Uri attack carried out in 2016. Now, the makers are all set to make a film on the 'Surgical Strike 2' or Balakot strike carried out on 26, February 2019. The film produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali will be directed by Kedarnath maker, Abhishek Kapoor. Sanjay Leela Bhansali Confirms Being in Talks With Priyanka Chopra Jonas for Gangubai.

Producer Mahaveer Jain is all set to collaborate with Bhansali, Bhushan Kumar and Abhishek Kapoor for this dramatized version of the real-life airstrike. He told Mumbai Mirror, “Our film is a tribute to our brave soldiers who risk their lives for the country, it’s a story very close to our hearts. Abhishek and his team are presently working on the script after which we would begin casting. Presenting it right is a huge responsibility."

Earlier, there was a report that the filmmakers were fighting over the title rights for the film based on the incident. Other titles like 'Abhinandan', 'Surgical Strike 2', 'Airstrike' amongst others have already been registered as per the reports. There were also speculations that Dhadak actor, Ishaan Khatter might be roped in, in the Balakot airstrike movie. However, the team is still in the casting phase and hence, no confirmation can be given on these reports. As the Vicky Kaushal starrer surpassed the 100-crore figure at the box-office and also won, masses and critics, there will be high curiosity around this flick as well.
