JP Dutta takes a break from war films

Mere the mention of renowned Bollywood filmmaker JP Dutta pops up in our head the images of his popular war movies such as Border (1997), LOC Kargil (2003) and more recently Paltan (2018). His 1997 film Border, starring an ensemble cast, is considered as one of the finest war movies ever made in Hindi cinema.

After sticking to the genre of war movies for close to two decades, the celebrated filmmaker has now decided to take a break from such films and focus on some other popular genres.


We hear that Dutta has already begun work on his next film which will not be a war movie. The director is presently writing a script for his next directorial. Some media outlets report that he has spent around eight days in Jodhpur, along with his team to work on the forthcoming venture.

If things fall into place, Dutta will roll the camera for his next untitled film by mid-2019. As of now, there is no information on the star cast of the project.
