JP Dutta Sarhad Movie: Filmmaker JP Dutta, famous for making patriotic films, has given films like ‘Border’, ‘LOC’ and ‘Kargil’ to the film industry. JP Dutta announced a film in the 90s, ‘Sarhad’, in which Vinod Khanna was going to be seen in the lead role. But after being announced, this film was never made. This was considered to be JP Dutta’s dream project, which was shelved forever. Now it seems that after years this film of his may come alive again. According to the latest reports, JP Dutta’s daughter Nidhi Dutta is thinking of restarting her stalled film ‘Sarhad’.
JP Dutta made the first film of his career ‘Sarhad’ on patriotism. This 1970 film was on war prisoners, in which Vinod Khanna was going to be seen in the lead role. But this film could never reach the theater nor could JP Dutta release it, because its shooting could not be completed. There was a dispute with the producer behind this film being shelved, due to which the film could never be completed. Now JP Dutta’s daughter Nidhi Dutta can give a new identity to this film after years.
JP Dutta’s border
According to media reports, Sarhad, which was veteran filmmaker JP Dutta’s most anticipated film in the 1970s, may finally get a new life after decades. There were plans to cast well-known actors like Mithun Chakraborty, Vinod Khanna and Bindiya Goswami in this film, but despite being in the news at that time, this project never started. Now news is coming that his daughter, producer-writer Nidhi Dutta is planning to restart this long stalled film, due to which this film has once again come into the discussion of the industry.
Why was the border stopped?
It is said that the reason behind JP Dutta’s ‘Sarhad’ film not being made was that the producer had withdrawn from investing money. Due to this, the shooting of the film was stopped midway and later got shelved. After this, JP Dutta had to wait for 9 years to bring his second film. After this, in 1985, he entered the world of direction with the film ‘Gulaami’.
