Varun Tej is set to play the role of an Air Force pilot in the upcoming patriotic thriller Operation Valentine. The film is produced by Sony Pictures International Productions and Renaissance Pictures and aims to celebrate the bravery of the Indian armed forces. Moreover, the movie will shed light on one of the most significant and intense aerial attacks that India has ever encountered.
The actor recently opened up about learning Hindi for his role. “This is the first time I am shooting a bilingual. I had to learn Hindi for this film; having said that, every role has its challenges, and there is no fun without any challenges. Today, there are no barriers to language, especially since the entertainment industry is under one umbrella. I wanted to explore new dimensions as an actor, and portraying an Indian Air Force pilot allowed me to push my boundaries. I knew I wanted to do it the moment I heard about it. The story and my character, Arjun Dev, drove me to accept this role,” the actor stated while discussing the nuances of the character and his experience on the set.
The film marks Varun Tej’s debut in the Hindi film industry and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar’s South Indian film industry debut.
Operation Valentine is produced by Sony Pictures International Productions, Sandeep Mudda’s Renaissance Pictures, and co-produced by God Bless Entertainment (Vakil Khan) and Nandakumar Abbineni. Shakti Pratap Singh Hada, an ad-film maker and VFX expert, will be making his directorial debut with this film. Written by Shakti Pratap Singh Hada, Aamir Khan, and Siddharth Raj Kumar, the film will be released on March 1, 2024, in Telugu and Hindi. Inspired by true events, it is a patriotic, edge-of-the-seat entertainer starring Varun Tej as Arjun Dev and Manushi Chhillar as a radar officer.
