Ishaan Khattar attended several boot camps to prepare for Pippa

Ishaan Khatter’s upcoming film, “Pippa,” is set to make its digital premiere on Amazon Prime Video on November 10. The movie, inspired by the real events of the 1971 Indo-Pakistan Battle of Garibpur, features Mrunal Thakur, Priyanshu Painyuli, and Soni Razdan in significant roles. In a recent interview, Ishaan shared insights into the film’s production, shedding light on the creative process behind bringing this historical story to life.

Ishaan is portraying the real-life war hero Captain Balram Singh Mehta in “Pippa.” During a conversation with IANS, the actor disclosed that he underwent rigorous research, including participation in multiple boot camps, to authentically depict the war hero’s character.

He said, “We lived for seven days each at two army cantonments, one in Rajasthan and another in Maharashtra. We were taught how to drive tanks. We shot in West Bengal for 45 days and filmed important events like the Battle of Garibpur, which allowed me to gain an understanding of the war from his perspective.”
