The movie was shot in Suratgarh or Rajasthan which is nearly 100 km from the Indo-Pakistan border, to give a look of the pre-independence village of Punjab. The additional shooting of the movie took place in October 2017 at the Dras sector in Jammu and Kashmir to give real life experience of the Tawang valley during the 1962 war.

Plot

This movie is based upon the life, struggle and valor of a subedar in Indian Army who died while fighting the Chinese in the Sino-Indian War in 1962. This movie is believed to depict the subedar's professional and personal life and how he handled it while serving his nation.

Cast

Shooting locations

Suratgarh is a small town in Sri Ganganagar district of Rajasthan and is in the close proximity of Radcliffe Line demarcated between India and Pakistan. Suratgarh is also famous for its Air Force Base Station which provides a strategic advantage to India over neighbouring Pakistan. It was chosen for the shooting the first schedule of the film because of its resemblance with the village of Punjab in undivided India back in 1921 where Joginder Singh lived his childhood and adolescence until he joined the British Indian Army.

Dras, a beauteous town on National Highway 1D or popularly known as Srinagar-Leh Highway came into prominence owing to Pakistani incursions in the Kargil sector in the summer of 1999, but it is also the second coldest inhabited place in the world. The second schedule is going on in the treacherous terrain of Dras and will be wrapped up by the end of October 2017.
