Ishaan is currently busy promoting ‘Pippa,’ an upcoming war drama set to stream on Amazon Prime Video from November 10. The film recounts the pivotal Battle of Garibpur during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, a crucial moment in Bangladesh’s fight for independence.
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and directed by Raja Krishna Menon, ‘Pippa’ features Ishaan in the role of real-life war hero Captain Balram Singh Mehta, alongside Mrunal Thakur, Priyanshu Painyuli, and Soni Razdan. The film is based on the book ‘The Burning Chaffees’ by Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta, with music by AR Rahman.
The movie gets its name from the PT-76 amphibious war tank, popularly known as “Pippa.” It narrates the story of Captain Balram Mehta and the Indian Armed Forces’ bravery during the war for Bangladesh’s liberation.
