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.

While filming Celebrity Race Across the World, BBC presenter Anita Rani and her dad, Bal Singh Nazran, were mistaken for refugees in Mexico, all because they were asking hotel staff how to reach the border. The father-daughter duo were part of the show’s gruelling new season, where celebrity teams travel thousands of miles without phones, flights or luxury budgets.

“We were filming in a hotel in Mexico and the owners thought we were refugees,” Bal said. “It’s because we kept asking where the border was, as we were obviously trying to get to the next location point.”
