Director debutant Sankalp Reddy’s much-awaited film ‘Ghazi Attack’ was recently reviewed by CBFC and the panel has asked the makers to not call it a historical film. The film is based on an alleged Indo-Pak war that occurred underwater in the year 1971, and how a Pakistani submarine sank mysteriously.
A source from the CBFC said,
“There is no comprehensive evidence that the incident detailed in The Ghazi Attack has any actual historical bearing. Yes, the incident is reported to have happened during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. But we can’t accept the film as a historical document. We’ve therefore asked them to remove the announcement in the opening titles declaring the film to be based on historical facts and instead add a disclaimer saying the work is partly fictional and partly authentic.”
Well, every film needs an inspiration, and the history of India has tons of it. Whether there is legit proof of the war having happened or not, it will surely make for an interesting watch!
