Team Paltan completes its first shooting schedule

The first name that comes to our mind when we think of an Indian filmmaker who makes war films filled with patriotism and passion, it has to be JP Dutta. He has given us some amazing films like Border, Refugee and Kshatriya.

After staying away from the direction for over a decade, the veteran filmmaker is calling the shots once again for his next directorial, Paltan.


Starring an ensemble star cast, which includes the likes of Arjun Rampal, Suneil Shetty, Jimmy Sheirgill, Sonu Sood, Luv Sinha, Gurmeet Chaudhary among others, the film went on floors in October.

The latest update on the project is that the team has wrapped up its first shooting schedule in Ladakh. Well-known trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed the news on social media.

"First shooting schedule of #JPDutta's #Paltan comes to an end in Ladakh... Second schedule to commence soon," he tweeted.

The film is slated to hit screens in the first half of 2018.

Rishab Shetty channels the spirit of Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt in Kantara Chapter 1

Rishab Shetty revives Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt’s golden era through 'Kantara Chapter 1'

Highlights:

  • Shetty moves from regional hit to franchise builder with Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1
  • The original Kantara put his name on the map; the new film widens the canvas
  • He writes, directs and acts- the rare triple threat Indian cinema once celebrated
  • The work is rooted in folklore and ritual, not spectacle, and that still lands with audiences
  • It’s a practical, working model of old-school creative vision today

Rishab Shetty’s path feels oddly familiar. Indian cinema once had figures who wrote, directed and starred in their own films, names such as Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor. It looks like Shetty does the same work now. After the success of Kantara, he returned with the newly released Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, again as actor, writer and director. The result is less a throwback and more a clear line of continuity: cinema made by one person who will not cede the story.
