Bollywood actor and producer Chitrangda Singh bags the rights to make a film on the incredible story of the Param Vir Chakra recipient Subedar Yogendra Yadav.
"I'm very excited to tell stories of real heroes that are many times forgotten even though they still live amongst us. We need to glorify their journey. This will be another attempt to do what I tried with 'Soorma'", says Chitrangda.
Yogendra Yadav fought in the Kargil war and to date is the youngest ever to receive the Param Vir Chakra at the age of 19. He also remains one of the three only living recipients of the Param Vir Chakra ever in the country's history and has since continued to serve in the Indian army.
