Filmmakers Tushar Hiranandani and Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani, fresh off their National Film Award win for 'Srikanth', are embarking on a new project titled 'Ragda 25'. This upcoming film will focus on the inspiring true story of the Indian Army's first experimental batch of 25 women. The success of these women was critical, as their performance determined whether women would be permanently accepted into the Army.
The narrative centers on the 25 inexperienced girls who dared to dream of joining the Army. The filmmakers have secured the life rights of Anjana Bhaduria, who achieved the top position in this pioneering batch. The script has received official approval from the Indian Army, and casting is nearing completion.
Principal photography for 'Ragda 25' is scheduled to take place entirely in Chennai. Hiranandani and Parmar Hiranandani emphasize their commitment to evolving as storytellers, choosing real-life narratives that resonate. This project follows their success with 'Saand Ki Aankh' and 'Srikanth', with other biopics also in development.
