By Sumit Blogs -

Actor Ishaan Khatter’s upcoming war drama ‘Pippa’ on Wednesday kicked off its first schedule in Amritsar. The film is helmed by ‘Airlift’ director Raja Krishna Menon and also features actors Mrunal Thakur, Priyanshu Painyuli and Soni Razdan.
‘Pippa’ is billed as a heroic tank battle film that underscores the bravery of Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta, a veteran of the 45th Cavalry tank squadron, who, along with his siblings, fought on the eastern front during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.

Khatter stars in the film as Brigadier Mehta, who was invited by the production houses to provide the inaugural slate clap as filming commenced. He took to Instagram and shared the first look poster of the film. Along with the poster, he wrote, “This is going to be special. ‘Shooting’ begins for our #Pippa! Godspeed.”

Soon after he posted the first look, his brother Shahid Kapoor wrote, “Ohooooo looking good.
️
” Even his rumoured girlfriend Ananya Panday was all praise for him. She commented, “
️ full power
” Tiger Shroff commented, “Congrats man looks awesome!
” while Katrina Kaif wrote, “So exciting”. Neha Dhupia, Zoya Akhtar, Huma Qureshi, Adarsh Gourav and other celebs were seen showering love on Ishaan’s first look.

Producer Ronnie Screwvala (RSVP) said he was thrilled that ‘Pippa’ began in the presence of Brigadier Mehta. “Kicking off the schedule on such a positive note ensures a steady momentum throughout the course of the production. We’re raring to go with a brilliant ensemble cast and filmmaker Raja Krishna Menon, who has a savvy eye for war films,” Screwvala said in a statement.

Producer Siddharth Roy Kapur added, “From the time I first heard this amazing story of the bravery and resilience of a family on the frontlines of a just war, I knew it had to be told. I am thrilled that with RSVP we have been able to give this story the sweeping canvas it deserves, and that we have an accomplished director like Raja and an amazing cast and crew, to bring this vision to life. The team is excited to hit the floors today and we hope to bring our audiences a very special cinematic experience in theatres next year.”

The film is based on Brigadier Mehta’s book ‘The Burning Chaffees’. The movie’s title is taken from the Russian amphibious war tank called the PT-76, popularly known as ‘Pippa’.

Menon said he is excited to begin shooting for the film “We’ve all been prepping hard for this day, and I cannot wait to bring this incredible story of valour and liberty to the audiences,” he said.

Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan.

The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday.
