As per reports, Thosar will essay the role of Kishan, who is part of the battalion led by Major Suraj Singh. For Thosar this is a dream project as he had a dream to be a part of the Indian army in real life.
“Ever since I was a child, I had a dream of joining the Indian Army and I had also tried giving my tests twice to get selected before getting into the movie industry. Not only an Army officer but I also tried to enrol myself in the police services. If I wasn't an actor, my career was definitely to join the forces to protect our country," Thosar said in a statement.
"Whenever I wore the uniform I felt differently, as if I was actually a part of the Army and would look at myself that way," he added.
