After Raees, news is that Shah Rukh Khan has got busy with his next production venture. As per news sources SRK is set to bring on celluloid the Indian Army and Air Force's one of successful missions - Operation Khukri, which took place in 2000 in Sierra Leone.
The Indian 58th Gorkha Rifles, 14th Mechanised Infantry and elements of the 23rd Mechanised Infantry, together designated as INDBATT-1, had been sent to West Africa as part of a UN peacekeeping mission to help the local government disarm the notorious rebels of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). During the course, rebels attacked and captured Kenyan soldiers forces at Makeni and due to a communication gap, some of the INDBATT-1 commanders in Kailahun (in Africa) were also taken captive. Thus Operation Khukri' was launched, in a tropical forest in West Africa, to break the siege at Kailahun. About 120 Special Force operators commanded by Major (now Lt. Col.) Harinder Sood were airlifted from Delhi to spearhead the initiative to rescue the 223 men.
Shedding more light on the project, a source, who mentions that it is the most expensive SRK's production venture, has been quoted by a publication saying, "It has been researched extensively and will be mounted on a really large scale. It will be a true depiction of a massive military operation and will celebrate our heroes. The director and cast are being finalised, the film will roll later this year. It will be shot in real locations in Africa with some real armed combat battle scenes."
