Chitrangda Singh acquires rights for film on the youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient of Indian army, Yogender Yadav

Chitrangda Singh who had produced Soorma as her first production, based on a true story of Sandeep Singh, ex-captain of the Indian hockey team, starring Diljit Dosanjh & Taapse Paanu, has now bagged the rights to another inspirational story of the incredible bravery of Subedar Yogender Yadav.

For the uninitiated, Subedar Yogendra Yadav fought in the Kargil war and to date is the youngest ever to receive the Param Vir Chakra at the age of 19. He also remains one of the three only living recipients of the Param Vir Chakra ever in the country’s history and has since continued to serve in the Indian army.

Speaking about acquiring the rights to develop a film based on Yadav, Chitrangda adds, "I’m very excited to tell stories of real heroes that are many times forgotten even though they still live amongst us. We need to glorify their journey. This will be another attempt to do what I tried with Soorma".

The rights to the movie are with CSfilms co-owned by Deepak Singh.
