A month into the shoot of Satellite Shankar, Sooraj Pancholi admits the film has him "excited and nervous" in equal measure. Thrilled to be playing a soldier in the Indian Army in the Irfan Kamal-directed venture, the actor reveals that he will be sharing screen space with real-life jawans.

"It puts a tremendous amount of pressure on me. Playing an Indian soldier on the silver screen is a big deal. Fortunately, I have the chance to interact with the soldiers and know about their experiences since they are a part of the cast," says Pancholi. Before they kicked off the shoot in Himachal Pradesh, Pancholi visited the Army base camp in Amritsar as part of his prep.
