“Blood, sweat, and tears,” Ishaan captioned the photographs on Instagram. We’re in the middle of shooting, and it’s already been one of my most enjoyable filmmaking experiences to date. We’re working hard to bring you an honest, visceral, and true story of bravery and sacrifice, but also of comradeship and fraternity… and, lest I forget, the story of an army family navigating a war on the big screen. The date is December 9th, 2022. Make a note of it.”
