Randeep Hooda to feature in military-drama based on Operation Khukri, Indian Army’s rescue mission in Sierra Leone in 2000

Randeep will be essaying the role of the Major General (then a young Company Commander of the 14th Mechanised Infantry), who navigated the stand-off and subsequently the rescue amid jungle warfare.Speaking about the project, Randeep shared, “Operation Khukri is a story that moved me deeply. It’s not just a tale of guns and glory, but of sacrifice, brotherhood, and unyielding courage in the face of insurmountable odds.”He added, “To step into the shoes of Major General Punia, a man who led his men out of a 75-day siege in an unknown land, is an honour and a responsibility.”
