Veteran filmmaker JP Dutta has signed actor Gurmeet Choudhary for his next project, war drama "Paltan".

Gurmeet will be playing the role of an army officer.

"It's a huge honour to work with JP sir. Since my father has served the army and his country for several years, I've been fascinated to play a soldier on the big screen.

"Also I feel bringing the life of an army soldier alive on screen would be a very interesting journey. It's a gift to my father," Gurmeet said.

The film will go on the floors later this year.
