While announcing the project in March on social media, Agnihotri wrote, "Rooted in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and backed by extensive, ground-level research in collaboration with multiple wings of the Indian Armed Forces, this is a story drawn from reality… not to create noise, but to confront it: with facts, with clarity, and the magic of cinema." According to the filmmaker, the film will be based on an operation that redefined security in the subcontinent.
