What’s interconnection between Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Lower Tank Bund in Hyderabad, the Telangana capital?
Writer and director Sankalp Reddy paralleled these two cities with his upcoming war action film Ghazi also releasing in Hindi as The Ghazi Attack on February 17th.
Inspired by the true events from 1971 Indo-Pakistan war and destroying of Pakistan submarine PNS Ghazi near Visakhapatnam, the story of Ghazi is first written as a book and later made into a film by Sankalp.
“I was amazed when one of my friends Rammohan Rao informed about a submarine set erected in Lower Tank Bund. I gathered more information about the setting and surprised to know that it was made for a film called Ghazi.
This made me excited to read about Ghazi story and approach Sankalp expressing my interest to work with him. I visited RK Beach in Vizag numerous times and saw Ghazi submarine there but very few of us know about the great back story. I worked with Sankalp for six to seven months on Ghazi script re-writing it 10 to 15 times,” informs Rana.
The film is produced jointly by PVP cinema and Matinee Entertainments.
