SRK to come out with short films on para-military brave hearts

New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, now under attack from the Shiv Sena over his comments favouring Pakistani cricketers in the IPL, will soon come out with a series of short films on the extraordinary life of martyrs and gallantry award winners of paramilitary forces.The series will depict the operations, many of them taking place in the militancy-hit Jammu and Kashmir and Naxal- infested states, during which the security personnel showed exemplary courage and sometimes even sacrificed their lives.

The thirty-minute films will be titled `Bando Mein Hai Dum` and `Veerta ki Sachchi Gatha` and will be produced by Khan`s television production arm -- Red Chillies Idiot Box. The Home Ministry had asked all the para-military forces -- CRPF, CISF, ITBP, SSB, BSF, NSG and Assam Rifles – to "examine the proposal" and prepare and collect relevant data so that it can "take a final view" on the project. According to sources, the Home Ministry had received the proposal last year by Red Chillies and a Delhi-based organisation `Yuva` for making feature films on gallant para-military men in order to inspire and inform the public about their lives and sacrifices.
