Mrunal Thakur, who’s now rated as one of the most talented actresses in the country, has pened up on why the release of the 1971 War film ‘Pippa’ got delayed. Mrunal, who started her career in television but is now firmly a Bollywood star, said ‘Pippa’, which will premiere on Amazon Prime from November 10, “is like my baby and it takes nine months for the baby to come out”.
“There are a few films which don’t require so much attention because they are simple. In ‘Pippa’ there is a lot of work, VFX and the team shot at a number of locations. I was part of the first schedule but for the second and third schedule it was a very tough shoot,” she said.

Had Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta not written his book, ‘The Burning Chaffees’, on the urging of his battalion mates, the Battle of Garibpur in the run-up to the 1971 India-Pakistan War, would have been forgotten forever.
But the book inspired Raja Krishna Menon, previously in the news for the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Airlife’, to make the war film ‘Pippa’ with Ishaan ‘The Suitable Boy’ Khattar playing the war hero (and author of the book), then a 26-year-old who was made a Captain in the thick of the battle after his commanding officer died within three minutes of it.
The film is a compelling retelling of this tank battle, which was fought in present-day Bangladesh, against Pakistani fire power with Lt-General A.A.K. Niazi, who eventually signed the surrender documents for a defeated Pakistan.
The Battle of Garibpur was fought between India and Pakistan for the control of the village of Garibpur,...
