The additional shooting of the movie took place in October 2017 at the Dras sector in Jammu and Kashmir to give real life experience of the Tawang valley during the 1962 war.
The film is based upon the life, struggle and valor of a subedar in the Indian Army who died while fighting the Chinese in the Sino-Indian War in 1962.
Suratgarh is a small town in Sri Ganganagar district of Rajasthan and is in the close proximity of Radcliffe Line demarcated between India and Pakistan.
