Rana Daggubati and Taapsee Pannu reveal character details in new The Ghazi Attack posters
Dharma Productions has venturing into something that they have never done before. The production house is gearing up for the release of the war drama The Ghazi Attack. The movie stars Taapsee Pannu and Rana Daggubati alongside others, and has quite an interesting premise. It is based on the real life incidents during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation war, which led to disappearance of the Pakistani submarine, PNS Ghazi under mysterious circumstances. The Ghazi Attack is all set to release on February 17, and the trailer is set to debut tomorrow.
Before the trailer of The Ghazi Attack hits the internet, a few posters of the movie have been unveiled by the makers, and star cast. First poster shared by Karan Johar went crazy viral on the Twitter. Now, the actors Taapsee and Rana have also shared posters which reveal details of the characters they are playing. Rana is playing Lt. Commander Arjun Varma, and looks handsome and fierce in the navy uniform. Taapsee is playing a character named Ananya, and her look is very intriguing. She also seems to be wearing a sort of uniform, but there are no tags to reveal her affiliation. I am really curious about what her character Ananya is all about. The answer to this question will be revealed tomorrow when the trailer.


A film with plot revolving around a submarine! That is quite fresh for Indian cinema, though there was a submarine sequence in the war film Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo, starring Bobby Deol and Akshay Kumar. But the plot of The Ghazi Attack will entirely deal with submarines and war at sea. Speaking with Bollywoodlife EXCLUSIVELY, Rana had said,” We built two large submarines in Hyderabad and we shot in two languages, Hindi and Telugu. It’s based on true events that happened in 1971 before the war broke out in India. So it’s one of those conspiracy tales that wasn’t told and when we heard it, we thought it was a very important story to tell. And it happened on the coast of Vizag, which is a place where I grew up in my childhood, where I know of very well. It was rather difficult in terms of sitting inside a submarine and shooting for it. Inside a submarine you lose track of time, daylight (which we didn’t figure when we got in), but we are very excited.”
Talking about underwater sequences, Rana told IANS: “I am quite good at diving, but the last time I did it was around four years ago. It was shot over three days and required me to be underwater from six in the morning to two in the night. It was taxing but I was committed to giving it my best. The fact that it’s a first of its kind movie motivates me to keep working hard.”
