MANI RATNAM'S INSPIRATION FOR KAATRU VELIYIDAI!
Home > Tamil Movies > Tamil News StoriesBy Akash | Apr 09, 2017
Mani Ratnam's Kaatru Veliyidai, which released a couple of days ago, stars Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari in the lead roles. The film which is based on love and also touches upon war, had a lot of watchers pondering on how a few scenes such as Karthi's escape from Pakistan could practically be possible. With respect to this, the official team of Kaatru Veliyidai, has posted through their social media handle saying that the story is not a complete perception but is based on a true event that took place in 1971. Here is what the post by the team had:
"On 10th Dec 1971, Flight Lieutenant Dilip Parulkar was shot down over Pakistan. He quickly turned that catastrophe into the greatest adventure of his life. On 13 August 1972 Parulkar, along with Malvinder Singh Grewal and Harish Sinhji escaped from a POW camp in Rawalpindi. Faith Jonhston's 'Four Miles To Freedom' captures their story.
Kaatru Veliyidai/ Cheliyaa retraces their path and converts the adventure into a grand cinematic experience when Officer VC and his two friends escape from the clutches of Pakistan army.
