The teaser of filmmaker JP Dutta's next, Paltan, is out. It shows officers getting ready to report for duty in tough, unforgiving terrains. From the look of it, the film could be based on a historical chapter and will be released on 7 September.
Dutta is best known for his much loved, patriotic blockbuster, Border (1997). As opposed to his earlier war films, Paltan does not feature any big, contemporary star. Abhishek Bachchan was part of the film, but opted out at the eleventh hour. Paltan has Arjun Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Nidhi Dutta, Sonu Sood and Luv Sinha in the cast.
Dutta returns to direction after 12 years. His last film, Umrao Jaan (2006), failed to make an impression.
